Hair is the second EP from Buffalo-based pop rock quartet Genesee Hotel. Building on the catchy pop melodies and late 90s summer vibes of their debut EP, Strawberry, Hair is an electrifying listen, sending your follicles straight-up with voltaic themes of deep love and pure devotion. Inspired by the pop rock zenith brought on by bands like Third Eye Blind and the Goo Goo Dolls, Genesee Hotel strips songs down to their bare minimum, bringing out the catchiest songwriting elements without sacrificing the deep distilled essence of their emo-revival backgrounds.
There are elements for everyone found throughout Hair – you might enjoy the blistering guitar solo found in album opener “Bones.” “Light Me Up” received a fun music video treatment that the band filmed exclusively using a Ring doorbell. “Worth It” is the band at their darkest with a ruthlessly catchy chorus. Title track “Hair” is true lightning-in-a-bottle, a once-in-a-career anthem about nostalgia, love, and tenderness.
