Groovy psychedelic spacerock
Having originally been born as a solo drum machine project by Bert Hoover, Hooveriii (pronounced “Hoover Three”) has now evolved into it’s true final form – a six member band adept at creating their own brand of psychedelic space rock.
Hooveriii’s fourth album Pointe is a collection of songs that features musicians from the band’s past and present and sees them collectively exploring musical geography that Hooveriii hasn’t explored in the past. The result is an album that was inspired by everything from the ‘60s psychedelic act Pisces to Phil Lynott’s solo releases and pioneering electronic acts like Tangerine Dream, to craft a collection of songs that are more about creating a specific type of feeling than fitting into a specific genre.
From the spacey groove of the opener Prom to the expansive, synth-friendly ballad This Rock, Pointe is an album that references the past while stretching towards an unknown future.
Support Roofman plays wistful folk songs, which always have a certain indie fragility. Roofman has this special charisma that makes people listen to him. His melancholic songs, which he sometimes breaks with humorous announcements, have great melodies and are, in the best sense, intense.
