Discovering hidden gems in the local music scene can be a thrilling experience, but it’s not uncommon to come across bands that still seem to be finding their sound. While this is all part of the creative process, some bands never quite reach their full potential and remain in the realm of “local bands.” However, there are exceptions, and one such band is Hex.
Hex stands out for their seamless fusion of dream pop and shoegaze, showcasing a clear vision and exceptional execution. Their music is engaging and captivating, setting them apart from the crowd. Their latest single, “The Tower,” is a prime example of their talent, drawing comparisons to the likes of Real Estate with its jangly guitar and melancholic vibe. Every element of the song, from the whispered vocals to the dreamy guitar lines, comes together beautifully to create a mesmerizing listening experience.
Hex, “The Tower”: Hex’s 2022 single is a testament to their musical prowess and a promising glimpse into their future. To experience their enchanting sound live, catch Hex at the Che Cafe on Thursday, Aug. 15. If you have a local “Song of the Week” suggestion, don’t hesitate to share it with us. After all, supporting local artists is what keeps the music scene thriving.
