Haircut 100 - Boxing The Compass

After a lengthy absence, Haircut 100 are back: fuelled by the power of friendship, a love of adventure, and the simple joy of seeing wherever their unexpected next chapter will take them.

Their return now gathers pace after releasing their first new music in 40 years with the new single 'The Unloving Plum'. 'The Unloving Plum' sparkles with the exuberant joy of a band loving what they do. The joyous, brass-assisted, instantly unforgettable pop that they're best known for is still their most compelling trait, but it's a natural evolution that takes in touches of jangly, Beatles-esque pop and an anthemic Britpop-flavoured power. While vocalist/guitarist, Nick Heyward, explains what it means to him, it also speaks to the universal experience of something great in life emerging from what you initially thought was the worst possible outcome.
