A lushly woven hammock of acoustic rural melody, gently swaying rhythms, and choral joy. Hint’s debut album continues to be the downtempo surprise of the year, with the word of mouth effect ensuring ‘Portakabin Fever’’s longeviety

Having to date already completed radio sessions for Radio One’s John Peel & One World shows, there are forthcoming sessions with The Blue Room and XFM’s John Kennedy to look forward too. There are exclusive tracks on the way featured on upcoming compilations albums for Sunday Best and Tru Thoughts and there is Hint’s first full live band experience at this year’s Big Chill. Following last year’s solo live debut on the Sanctuary stage, this year a Saturday afternoon performance on the main stage is the order of the day. Primetime baby!

With Bonobo and Minotaur Shock joining young Hint on stage to form the ‘Hint touring band’ could it get any better? Well yes, it could actually, because to celebrate this the two new band members have also contributed two new remixes to complete the singles collection that adorn the long player. Indeed, two of the finest remixes of these upstanding gentlemen’s careers we hope you will agree. Minotaur tinkles with the electronic disco, tempting and teasing us to dance around his handbag, and Bonobo gets his flute out (again!) to lead us all a merry way.

Blessed. We certainly are.
