'I Created a Monster' weaves the tale of the Dr.Kno, a man engulfed in the fizzling of his own imagination. Hello Operator's latest release drills another spy hole into the walls of their debut album.

I Created a Monster

Go ahead, ransack any corner of the Hello Operator catalogue, and as if placing all your pennies on a school tombola, you’re likely to return with tales of hoity-toity monsters, animals behaving badly, Hamburg backstreets and Caribbean loose change. Indeed, over the past few years, the band has continually come up with the goods, carefully adding to their basket of infectious, cocksure sing-a-longs.

Founded on a shared affinity for rock ‘n’ roll, hip-hop and soulful melodies, the North Yorkshire four piece have been steadily braising a world of their own. Throughout their sound weaves an undercurrent of fuzzy guitars, thumping bass and drums, and an unmistakable vocal “I watched a clip of Otis Rush belting out ‘I Can’t Quit You Baby’ and thought - I’ve gotta learn to sing like that!” – Max Dalton.
What’s clear is this: it is a music born of the moment yet marinated in the best of the past. 

2020 will see Hello Operator release their debut album and it’s sure to be a hell of a ride.
