Some acts sit on the fringe of internet music awareness, clawing and scratching for attention, and some acts calmly let the music do the talking for them. In the case of the anonymous project that is hoodlem, there's no information attached (other than the fact that they're from Melbourne), nor is there any person or persons shouting at you to listen. Rather, it will be with tracks like "Old Friend" that gives you a taste of what hoodlem has to offer here, and we're willing to be that you'll be hooked on the offering. From the delicate vocals to the iridescent rhythms, "Old Friend" is one striking piece of music that you ought to listen to at least one time.
