DESCRIPTION
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 "Hoover Three") 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 ("Stone Man"); or follow "the legendary Peruvians who run long distances in the Andes Mountains ("The Runner"). "I let my imagination run wild," Hoover said. Elsewhere on A Round of Applause, the Hooveriii frontman finally recorded a song, "The Pearl," that he wrote in 2017. "It sounds like a Harry Nilsson jingle like to me, a fantasy song," he continued. "It'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 f***ing seriously. We want to avoid that self-seriousness. We're a bunch of goofy musicians."
