Hatchback - Marin County - 12" Vinyl

"Windsurf's Samuel Grawe has dropped some sublime if intermittent solo material under the Hatchback name over the years, gracing the excellent Lo Recordings with two albums as well as dropping a sublime 12" on the much missed THISISNOTANEXIT. Kudos goes to Watson and Ritesh Kumar's Adult Contemporary for coaxing this slab of Hatchback material out of Grawe with the 3 track Marin County 12" every bit as sumptuous as those aforementioned releases. Lead track "Paradise Drive" sets the tone and demonstrates Grawe's talent for arrangement with the languid piano tone perfectly complemented by the shuffling beat and rippling bed of warm textures that sit below. "Loma Alta" meanwhile sounds like New Beat gone Balearic whilst the soaring"Baker Beach" nudges up the tempo without any hint of sacrifice to the musicality."
