"How can you go to Barbados and catch a cold?" says Kimberley Walsh, sniffling absently. Her fleeting glumness segues to Saturday-night-TV smile and suddenly she's in promo mode. That's showbiz. Now 31, the Girls Aloud singer and joint runner-up of last year's Strictly Come Dancing hoof-off has been putting her best gloss on things since starring in a George at ASDA advert as a child.

Hair Police are – and this is a scary thought – Wolf Eyes's evil twin. They share a lot of the same grim atmospheres, but the former have dissolved most links to any form of "standard" music, notably jazz and rock, preferring to center their sound around drifts of caustic electronic drone and Mike Connelly's ruptured vocals. Where Wolf Eyes have something of a structure at play (some might even say they're a bit too knowing in their restructuring of rock tropes), Hair Police have increasingly removed rhythm and melody altogether in favor of queasy...
