Hilang Child

Hilang Child is the moniker of London’s Ed Riman, a man whose musical output sounds so tortured it’s hard to imagine how he prised himself away from sobbing and texting ex-girlfriends for long enough to pen a tune. Combining overblown theatrical emotion with a penchant for a memorable hook, his sometimes poetic lyrics recall melancholic snapshots in time; profoundly mesmeric, deeply captivating.

Riman’s rare talent as a songwriter defies genre and would sit well alongside any number of Scandinavian bands, echoing the coupling of post-rock structure and gently sung vocal melodies that seems to thrive so well amongst our friends in the icy, expansive North.
