Sorry In The Summer

SVE YRSELF

Out 4/6/24 on Cavity Search Records
RIYL: Bleached, SharonVan Etten,  Alvvays, Beach Boys, Bully, Dum Dum Girls, Best Coast

Impulsive Hearts were just nominated "Best Rock Band" in the 2023 Chicago Reader poll. Their third record keeps the upbeat bubblegrunge sounds going, and adds sharper songwriting, and witty lyricisms. Impulsive Hearts pick up where recent revivalist acts like Dum Dum Girls and Best Coast have left off, adding just a hint of indelible Midwestern sadness to the neo-girl group garage rock sound. Danielle Sines leads the group with brooding, captivating vocals, fuzzy guitars and fierce, catchy-as-hell songwriting. The band creates larger than life, spector-esque sounds - with Max Cohen on bass, Rachael Farinella on drums, Fallon McDermott on saxophone and keyboards and Adele Nicholas shredding guitar. The sound they create has been described as, "beach-bubble ice-cream-sunset garage rock,"and "a smack of sunshine on a cold winter's day." 

 “[The] songs are studies in contrast, sweet melodies and then distortion and rage”, - Jessica Hopper, The Chicago Tribune.

 “[The] songs are studies in contrast, sweet melodies and then distortion and rage”, - Jessica Hopper, The Chicago Tribune. 

“Channeling Dum Dum Girls' most Spector-esque tendencies, Danielle Sines & Co. put together melodies so intuitive and simple that you feel like you've known them for years after a listen or two. Ride cymbals and guitar form a sinfonia of their own as each little bit of pop perfection rises to its climax. One of Chicago's most-promising bands.” - Austin B. Harvey, Chirp Radio http://chirpradio.org/blog/chirp-radios-top-10-albums-of-2016

“After a few dozen listens to opening jam "I Wannabe Gone," this wolf is sure Impulsive Hearts always have sand between their toes. Their echoey, languid jams have a touch of Beach House—that is, if Beach House were produced by Phil Spector.” – Gossip Wolf, Chicago Reader 

“The airiness of dream pop, and the toe-tappiness of surf-pop all mixed up with the kind of fuzzy guitars that I’m a total sucker for.” – Listening Midwestward

Impulsive Hearts is Danielle Sines. She sings, shouts, plays guitar and synth, and records noises on tape recorders + Impulsive Hearts forever.
