Hood: Cold House
Dave Simpson, The Guardian, 14 December 2001
THE COVER of Cold House depicts the Yorkshire moors, blurred, as if something is happening just beyond the lens. This desolate region is best known for inspiring the Brontës, and as the temporary resting place of the several bodies that are found in shallow graves each year. The moorlands overlook Wetherby, home of Hood, who have tapped into the area's artistic tradition to produce an album with a disturbing, supernatural pull.
