From Shack and The Strands to The Pale Fountains and the Red Elastic Band, Michael Head has bewitched, enchanted, bewildered, and entranced us with his subtle indie pop poetics.

If you’ve been keeping up with Head’s resurgence over the past 10 or so years, you’ll know that he’s in a prime purple patch and ‘Loophole’ eagerly grasps the baton from the critically acclaimed ‘Dear Scott’, continuing the gorgeously affecting odes to life and death that could only have sprung from this Merseysider’s romantic heart.


Whilst Head’s world-worn outlook initially appears to contain a certain weariness, he injects his music with an irresistible sense of optimism that’ll have your steps springing as if someone has space-hoppered your soles.

And if you’re new to Mick’s world, you’ve just discovered the perfect introduction to ‘our greatest living songwriter’.
