The leaders of Hew have been around for a long time. Your Version might technically be the debut album for this band, but Mercy Harper and Lindsay Minton have been making pristine second- meets fourth-wave emo for 20 years.
Their original college band, Tin Kitchen, crafted unsteady, introspective indie rock. Their longest-running group, football, etc., released a string of excellent yet underrated emo records that blended Rainer Maria with Braid to tremendous effect. They followed that with Overo, which introduced some post-hardcore flair to their sound. Suffice to say, this duo has experience and songwriting chops to spare.
And yet, Harper and Minton refuse to rest on their laurels with this new 11-song album.
