Lande Hekt follows January's Lucky Now with Threadbare, a compact four-track EP released through Tapete Records that demonstrates how much territory can fit inside roughly twelve minutes when nobody wastes time on unnecessary guitar solos. The songs "Circles," "The Time Changes," "Threadbare" and "Reality" continue Hekt's affection for chiming jangle-pop while expanding the themes around travel, political disengagement, exhaustion and the strange mental geography created by months on the road.
"The Time Changes" draws on crossing Canada from coast to coast, while "Reality" concerns emerging from political apathy and deciding that paying attention is probably preferable to hiding under the duvet indefinitely. Musically, Hekt's reference points remain gloriously guitar-centred: The Sundays, The Wedding Present, The Replacements and various branches of 1980s indie pop can all be heard somewhere in the family tree. Yet Threadbare avoids sounding retro by keeping Hekt's own voice and experiences firmly in front.
The physical Bandcamp edition is also pleasingly hands-on: the limited twelve-inch arrives with a blank cover and sticker sheet so owners can arrange their own artwork. In an era of deluxe editions containing scented candles and seventeen unnecessary demos, being invited to decorate your own record feels almost rebelliously sensible in the modern indie landscape.
