Debut album 'The Diet' is out on September 18th via City Slang, offering laid back sounds with a techno glaze. Elements of Lambchop remain, but - realistically - 'The Diet' profiles these musicians in a stunningly new light. Kurt Wagner: "As HeCTA, we take our approach seriously and are respectfully aware of the great electronic music created throughout its history continuing into the present-so much so that when it came time to mix these recordings, we reached out to some of the central figures of the genre

HeCTA - Sympathy For The Auto Industry (5:31) 03. HeCTA - Prettyghetto (3:42) 04. HeCTA - Like You're Worth It (5:14) 05. HeCTA - The Concept (3:32) 06. HeCTA - Change Is In Our Pocket (4:17) 07. HeCTA - We Are Glistening (3:41) 08. HeCTA - Give Us Your Names (3:40) 09. HeCTA - We Bitched We Bovvered And We Buildered (4:03).

Wagner has explained how the impetus for HeCTA came from both a recording of 1960s-vintage comedian Buddy Hackett and a book about 1970s American dance culture. And, strange as the notion may seem, debut album The Diet sounds like something that sprang from such disparate, esoteric sources. Its charm is in how it's alternately whimsical and serious, and sometimes both at the same time. To help us make sense of it all, HeCTA have even included a track called "The Concept"

The faster, rhythmic tracks are less convincing, though they can excite on occasion, but it’s this mish-mash of successes that make the album jar, and not in the way HeCTA would have desired.
