The Hair Thieves are a duo from Shropshire UK, creating an eclectic mix of indie pop rock with a smattering of soundtracks, punk, rost rock and any other genre we think of on any given day.
2020 is the 20th anniversary and we still don't take this very serious at all.
Time for my annual list of the top ten albums of the year.
Rule is, I must have physically purchased the album and not just streamed it, so although I have enjoyed (and at some point will buy the cd and or vinyl or cassette) the likes of Bjork, King Creature, Alison Moyet, Slowdive, Daniel Cavanagh etc etc, they are all ineligable.
The other problem, is most of my music purchases have been back catalog stuff, For example, I have bought a few older The Pineapple thief albums and most of the Lunatic soul ones.
So anyway here is the top ten.
10 - Dave Krezner - Static
9 - Pete Murphy - Go Dark Humm not sure there is a video for this, but you can listen on the bandcamp site via the link.
We are pleased to show you all, our new video for "The Distance".
This has been a bit of a labour of love, using Muvizu.
The big, third party, sets did not play well with the animation software, so it was a case of rendering bits of the video out and hoping they worked, since I was unable to re-open any saved files.
As a first attempt with new animation software, we are pleased with the results.
Expect some more Muvizu videos for other new and possibly older tracks over the coming months.
EP8 is now available on all decent streaming sites, Amazon, iTunes and Bandcamp
Finally, pleased to announce that EP8 will be released on February 3rd 2017.

There are four new songs on the EP.
1) The Distance
2) My Hometown
3) Hometown Heart
4) Ludworth
There is an unexpected theme running thorugh this EP of Home. Both of
us took part in a songwriting course last year, where we had to write a
song about our Hometowns. So this is our offerings.
This theme permeated into Ludworth, which though an instrumental, is very close to home in many ways.
Ludworth
is also a bit of a departure, in that there are no real instruments
played on it. Which was an interesting exercise, in the use of studio
technology within the software we use.
A very limited physical release is available at our Bandcamp shop.
Check back on release day for the video release of "The Distance".
