limited to 500 copies - one per person - sure to sellout on pre sale. the second release on house anxiety records, after the debut big pink 7", comes in the form of the debut single from graffiti island. graffiti island are three twentysomethings from east london who were all so bored of what was being played at the shows they were attending they decided they may as well start playing some music they actually liked. whether by influence or coincidence it remains unclear but graffiti island's stripped back, pared down, lo fi, redolent of early k records innocence or flying nun fuzz has found itself common currency among like minded london bands such as pens, male bonding and teeth. the a side of the 7", 'headhunters', is typical of graffiti island's simple, lo fi and rhythm section heavy sound. sped along by propulsive drums and a nagging, rhythmic guitar line the song features pete's deadpan delivery which slips in and out of spoken word on recurring lyrical touchstones including getting lost in the jungle and coveting things like shrunken head earrings. ....release date: 11/05/2009
