Hooveriii - Pointe - VINYL LP

Since 2020, internal clocks have had to be readjusted with the pace of life ebbing and flowing. For Los Angeles psych-rock sextet Hooveriii (pronounced InchHoover ThreeInch) that adjustment seeped it's way into their songwriting and ultimately their forthcoming album, A Round of Applause. The record cherrypicks from an array of genres - pop, girl-group ditties, synth-ish keyboards and funk -but the end result is a cohesive long-player with songs that revolve around the Spanish Inquisition (InchStone ManInch); or follow Inchthe legendary Peruvians who run long distances in the Andes Mountains (InchThe RunnerInch). InchI let my imagination run wild,Inch Hoover said. Elsewhere on A Round of Applause, the Hooveriii frontman finally recorded a song, InchThe Pearl,Inch that he wrote in 2017. InchIt sounds like a Harry Nilsson jingle like to me, a fantasy song,Inch he continued. InchIt's more like a nursery rhyme than a song with an important message. You know, it's just like keeping things fun.... Nilsson didn't take everything so fucking seriously. We want to avoid that self-seriousness. We're a bunch of goofy musicians.Inch

HOOVERIII - MANHUNTER (ICE BLACK VINYL) After four albums of extra-dimensional exploration, Hooveriii delivered InchManhunterInch with the controls set directly for the heart of the cosmic groove. Expertly synthesizing their influences and still managing to bring even more to the party, from spiky post punk to beautiful new age excursions and mammoth 70's arena rock hooks, InchManhunterInch delivers not only their best album yet but an instant classic for all the psych-heads, stoners and dimensionauts.
