Following the success of their previous tracks “Last Stop” and “Fear the Mourning,” HATS™ (they/them) returns with their captivating new single “Hand Me Downs.” This time, the emerging artist embraces a dream-pop-inspired aesthetic, enveloping listeners in warm and inviting textures. It’s innately indie, but with a spark and magic to it that’s palpably poignant and radiant.
“Hand Me Downs” showcases HATS™’s signature blend of rich and tender soundscapes, delivering one of their most heartfelt releases to date. Their bittersweet vocals seamlessly weave through ethereal synths, creating an immersive auditory experience that resonates deeply with the soul. It’s so sincerely sung, showcasing their uniqueness in the vocal performance and the dreamlike quality of the whole piece.
HATS™ is known for their chameleon-like ability to craft music that offers comfort and solace. Drawing inspiration from artists like ANOHNI, Radiohead, and Kate Bush, they continue to evolve from their beginnings with Vienna Ditto, where they merged bluesy riffs with rockabilly guitar. Now, as a solo artist, HATS™ explores new sonic territories, delivering emotional depth and genre-bending compositions with each release.
