Hot Club De Paris - My Little Haunting

The genre Math Rock should be uniquely reserved for American bands.

After all there is an S on the end of the word over here and Maths Rock doesn’t have the same ring. Nevertheless, plural suffix or no, Liverpool trio Hot Club De Paris find themselves falling into that category thanks to their off-kilter drums and stop-start guitars. Yet new single My Little Haunting is more Merseybeat than offbeat. Behind the irregular rhythms are pretty perky guitars and singer Paul Rafferty’s excellent lyrics and unshowy vocals. It’s method and melody in one simple package with no need for labels.
