face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> are our newest signings and have been
in the studio in Scotland with </FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica
size=2>Tony Doogan</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> of
</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>Belle and
Sebastian</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> fame. Sounding
like </FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>Belle and Sebastian
and the Violent Femmes all mixed up with Palace</FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>, Hefner are set to capture heart and
souls. The album, </FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>Breaking
God’s Heart</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> will be
out 15th June, preceded by two singles, </FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>Pull yourself together</FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> [20th April] and </FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>Love will destroy us in the
end</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2> [18th May], though the
first release on Too Pure will be a 5 track 10” ep entitled
</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>The Hefner Soul</FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>. Darren also has a short story in
</FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>BOA</FONT><FONT
face=Arial,Helvetica size=2>, a fanzine which you should get hold of
in any case for the sheer amount of brilliant records reviewed by
Gayle Harrison.</FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica
