Texas Platters

Hug

Primitive synth punks Hug return with another party album about ... well, lead track "Pants Off" spells it out. The local trio's all about indulging baser instincts, but it gets political too on same-sex anthem "Caribbean Bathroom." Oh, you want a ballad? "Hug Is Love" is basically the new "We Are the World." Who says masculinity's in crisis?
