With sets from Tomás Ford, Mulder, collaborators Rokwell & Groom, and newcomers Glandhacker, get ready for a tantalising mix of electro, cabaret, hip hop beats, sassy vocals and an exclusively trashy late night Tomás Ford vs Mulder DJ set, that's guaranteed to get messy!

Only Hope: Single review

-->

Only Hope’s new single ‘Nomad’ is a dynamic, pensive track, bursting with so many different levels of musical experience, it doesn’t seem like a single song. But the song flows well, ending in just over four minutes. More often than once listeners are exposed to the grand (albeit slightly more compact) build up that hints at the band’s post-rock influences, with that familiar catharsis soon to follow. All sections of the quintet’s sound have their moments, with the track’s strength lying in contrast; more local bands could find depth in the dynamics that Only Hope march through with ease. There is no doubt that the track’s abrupt ending leaves listeners eager for the rest of the album; clever tactic or not, the single is a success.
