French post-punk sextet HERE[IN] keep the sound of 80s cold wave alive on their Can You Hear Me EP, with six soul searching tracks. The contrast between the vocals and cello on one end and the wall-to-wall rock approach on the other might take some time to digest, but the overall mood of sensual darkness, despair and anger will persevere in the end.
Rock 'n' roll was once widely considered as a dangerous scheme to corrupt the youth and while it now has been superseded by other genres that freak out narrow-minded parents it is good to know that there is band in Bordeaux soldiering on to put self-doubt and emotions in the spotlights in a timeless, old school way.
