Eel Feeling by Hauspoints
"Like an improbable hybrid of LCD Soundsytem and Squid."
Tom Robinson
BBC Radio 6 Music
"If you look for music with fuzz, crunch and edgy creativity, then Hauspoints might be just the band for you."
William Wolstenholme
BBC Introducing
"Hauspoints are a unique band with an interesting take on alternative music. Their striking rock sound includes a range of infectious guitars, brassy reflections, and bouncy synth-bass manoeuvres."
Indie Central Music
"On the surface, Hauspoints’ music is groovy alt-rock, but when you listen to each individual instrument you wonder how they manage to turn the unorthodox parts into something hooky and familiar."
Background Animal
"The various instruments take sporadic leads at points, within a consistently confident vocal lead with shades of LCD Soundsystem in their decisive, concise delivery."
Obscure Sound
Exploring a distinctly northern viewpoint on modernity, Hauspoints’ songs are like a love letter to popular culture, finding beauty in the mundane minutiae and celebrating the quirkiness of human existence.
Established on a dilapidated industrial estate at the foot of an overgrown hill in darkest Lancashire, their debut album, Eel Feeling, is a beat-heavy rasp that treads an unfurrowed path aside multiple genres without straying too far into the obscure.
