Broken Head?

Brokenhead is one of my favorite new(er) bands I discovered this year and Sunday Drive Records keep putting out records I really, really enjoy. A Wishful Thing was originally released in 2022 (digitally) and vinyl came out the next year, so in my book it‘s a 2023 release. The songs are a very cool mix of shoegaze and 90s alternative music. Perfect for quiet evenings in the fall and winter. Sadly, there are only four songs on the 12“, which always seems like such a waste. You can‘t really go wrong with coke bottle clear records either.

Like I said, A Wishful Thing left me wanting more songs by Broken Head, so the strategy of only putting four songs on a 12“ worked. As much as I like the 12“ above, The Morning Ends, a proper full length, is a a step above. More songs, and better songs too in my opinion. I also really like the artwork and the vinyl color.

The one thing that irks me a little is the fact that the band name is spelled differently on the records and the label’s bandcamp/homepage. So much effort is put into the music, artwork, vinyl etc. but you can’t decide on whether the band name is one word or two?
