Hellhound by The Boy With The Greyhound Tattoo

🐾 BBC INTRODUCING: "Utterly charming" - Adam Walton 🐾

Appropriately released on a Friday 13th, the new EP from The Boy With The Greyhound Tattoo gives a loose 21st century spin on Hammer Horror monsters through four modern stories of anxiety, antagonism, animosity and fear.

‘Hellhound’ is a true marriage of the new and the old, the digital and the analogue. It was recorded using a symphonic sample library but initially written for traditional orchestra, piano and voice. It is let loose on most streaming platforms but also available on CD and cassette. Via a QR code, it even comes with an online game - but a game of Interactive Fiction, a clickable choose-your-own adventure text game of a bygone era.

Musical comparisons have been made with The The, David Sylvian, Lloyd Cole and The Divine Comedy.

🐾 VERY SPECIAL THANKS 🐾
Special thanks to my extremely supportive wife Clare, my buddy Javi for the quick Spanish lesson, Colin at VOD for giving me a cool place to musically exist and Trish for buying me a megaphone.

This EP is dedicated to my wonderful dog Moose who was sadly taken from us far too young in January 2024. Never a hellhound, rather an angelic companion. I miss you so much my sweet boy.
