Hexicon started as a lo-fi voice/guitar/french horn combo in 2004 and got told they sounded like a junk shop Beach Boys. They expanded when Mike, Paul and Tom were joined by Andy and Greg, the rotating drummer tag-team and Giles who was a total bass-head.



Hexicon soon started making a record, playing all the parts themselves as Greg recorded and mixed. They kept on making it and making iand eventually it was released on Haircut Records in July 2010. Hexicon recorded additional songs at Soup Studios soon after. 'Narissa I Won't' and 'Sweet Things' are planned for release as a single, and they are waiting patiently.



Hexicon have so far played on bills alongside some of their favourite people including James Yuill, Darren Hayman, Fanfarlo, SFA and Tender Trap. Rob Rotifer took them out on a tour of Austria in 2006 to play some shows alongside Fuzzman and himself.



Mike and Paul also play in Allo Darlin, and Tom can also be heard playing Horn on Darren Hayman's most recent records.

Hexicon make the sound of mellow hillbillies tripping in the countryside

Artrocker



the monster wig-out at the end just builds and builds and gnaws into your head, with a feedbacky drum avalanche climax.

lastnightfromglasgowindieeyespy on 'Follow the Herd'



Gorgeous mellow indiepop in the vein of Stars Of Aviation and Fanfarlo

How Does It Feel to be Loved



having absorbed everyone in a wave of dreamy, velvety pop and impressive falsetto harmonies which of course, recalled none other than Mr Brian Wilson and his good friends, The Beach Boys, things instantly turned a little darker when guitar was swapped to Lap steel and French horn disregarded in favour of a good old synth - transporting us somewhere between middle America and the moon.

ICA



A nice variant of indiepop, complete with french horn and lap steel and other cutesy instruments…definitely something to watch out for.

If the Beach Boys were from Kent and recorded pet sounds with the audience on percussion.

Electroacoustic Club



If this EP contained only the first track, Sweet Things (Born to Die), it would still be worth buying.  The song is a bittersweet remembrance of childhood, its ephemeral nature and the naive dreams that as children, we are condemned to let go of just by growing older…
