Evolving from debonair intrigue into a riveting, theatrical expanse, “last stop” is a strongly memorable debut single from HATS TM. The Reading, UK-based artist presents a climactic appeal throughout, evolving seamlessly from sparser late-night introspection into a memorably emotive vibrancy. The bass-fronted initial verses find gradual accompaniment in shimmering guitar dreaminess, arising eventually into dreamy vocal soothing and a fantastic central chorus — “there’s nothing but warmth…”
Initially a member of the band Vienna Ditto, HATS TM marks a new evolution for the talented artist. The title-referencing haunts at the four-minute turn is especially mesmerizing, traversing into a final “feel a chill,” infectiousness. At points fondly reminiscent of Black Box Recorder with its fulfilling vocal expansion and trip-hop touches, “last stop” is a captivating debut track from HATS TM.
