Their Hearts Were Full of Spring

Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring are travellers and troubadours, waifs and wanderers who have had the good fortune of stumbling across each other one night at a ramshackle gin palace in south east London. United in apathy, they write wide-eyed indiepop songs that are tinged with a sense of melancholic wonder at a world that can hold such beauty and such despair all at once. Their first single, A Question of Trust, was self-released last year, to critical acclaim in the indie press. It was given national radio play by Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and on Tom Robinson’s “Introducing…” show for the BBC. “Uplifting, beautiful pop for the disillusioned and faint hearted. It's hard to really say any more than that. THWFOS are a great big, crazy happy band and A Question of Trust is a great example of their craft. Renowned for unpredictable live shows, eclectic tastes and an advanced opposition to the mainstream culture of mediocrity, this band demands to be looked out for and listened to. So best you do!” -Stay In The Box Their live shows are colourful and joyous, and Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring encourage audience participation. There are listen-and-repeat percussion classes, the baking of cakes and the breaking of hearts, and some fairly shambolic flower arranging. Think of a fancy dress food-fight at an afternoon funeral and you’d be at the right table. “Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring emanate romance like a summer rose, their shaven-haired, white-jacketed, Morrisey-esque front-man singing from behind his flower-strewn microphone with glorious languor. Handclaps, violin lines and tambourines shake, the whole Hearts sound ebbs with a blinding orchestral grace, and one particular track has a three-part vocal harmony to absolutely die for. Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring are the real package, and this fact is more than enough reason to spell their name out in full one last time.” –MusicOMH.com With an ever-growing troupe of loyal fans, this South London ensemble is gaining a reputation for shows of an inspirational nature.
