We were big fans of Hailer’s single Spooky Clams, which was a regular on the MM turntable at the end of 2012, so we have no excuse for taking so long to give their long player Another Way a proper spin. From the slightly sinister, metronomic swell of opener Stroke Of The Night to the closing croon of Two Feet, the record more than lives up to expectations. … Continue reading Hailer’s Another Way
