Last time we checked in with The Sino Hearts they released a compilation with the best tracks of their first two records. For me that offered the best of both worlds, because neither record was perfect but both contained some killer tracks<\/a>. Now, the Bejing band (who moved to Berlin recently) returns with their third album called Lightening The Darkness<\/em>. Mark this record as the moment where The Sino Hearts fully live up to the expectations raised by those killer tracks. To be honest, The Sino Hearts exceed my expectations. I’m blown away by how good this record is.<\/p>\n

Whereas the band’s previous output was very much Exploding Hearts influenced – never a bad thing, it’s almost like The Sino Hearts finally found a sound of their own. Like a writer finding his or her own voice, The Sino Hearts brand of powerpop\/garage\/rnr\/’70s punk is more effective than before, and you won’t find any filler on Lightening The Darkness<\/em>. It’s hit upon hit. Goodbye Tonight. Passing Shades. Stranglehold On My Heart. Falling Out Of Love<\/em>. All hits, and those are the first songs on the record! Or what about Commotion Of Love?<\/em><\/p>\n

Lightening The Darkness<\/em> is a must have. Out now through Topsy Turvy & Otitis Media.<\/p>\n
