LIST PICK
HI FRISCO SNOWFALL
Coming in with their pre-winter pick-me-up ‘Snowfall’ is Hi Frisco. Out today, it’s their first ever single, so consider yourself well ahead of the curve here. To make formal introductions and answer the question “who the heck is Hi Frisco?” Well, they’re a duo made up of Henry Eastham, a session musician and guitarist from Blackpool, and Felix Rashman, a studio engineer and production maestro from Yorkshire. Together, two become one under the name Hi Frisco, which is a greeting taken from the novel Atlas Shrugged. Now you’ve got the scoop for starters, let’s have a natter about ‘Snowfall’. Riding heavy on those bright and piercing synths, sauntering guitar progressions and hip-swaying percussion; this song is big and shouty but in a dreamy pop kind of way. We love the romantic yearning of Henry’s lyrics, “How long till I see the sun shift across the sand, / How long? Cause I can’t find my way home, / Help me find my way home.” It’s a real sing-a-long moment that makes ‘Snowfall’, and by extension Hi Frisco, an instant favourite. - Hannah Thacker
