Hatchie shares US tour dates, Bad Guy video

Hatchie will play her first US dates later this year.

Dates in September include outings with Alvvays and Snail Mail over three nights at the Warsaw in New York, as well as visits to Boston and Philadelphia.

Also out is a video for Bad Guy, the closing track of debut EP Sugar & Spice. “Without question, Sugar & Spice has all the hallmarks of great pop music; great hooks (Bad Guy), earnestness (Try, an instant pop classic, which it was on release last year) and an edge and diversity to the vocals on the title track,” our review reads.

“But it also has more than a hint of shoegaze and other reverb-led guitar music. There is a deft psychedelic wistfulness to Sure which also echoes both Wolf Alice and the arpeggio-driven highs of The Smiths’ more sumptuous moments.”

“The rapid fire of Bad Guy’s chorus, which sounds not unlike Blur’s classic The Universal, is delivered with a weary breathlessness that perfectly suits Harriette Pilbeam’s (for it is she) vocals. In fact, across the whole EP Pilbeam covers quite a range of emotions without really stretching her lungs too much, which bodes well for when she does let loose.”
