For Los Angeles psych-rock sextet Hooveriii (pronounced \"Hoover Three\") that adjustment seeped its way into their songwriting and ultimately their forthcoming album, \u003ci\u003eA Round of Applause\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ci\u003eA Round of Applause\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 fucking seriously. We want to avoid that self-seriousness. We're a bunch of goofy musicians.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Reverberation Appreciation Society","offers":[{"title":"Blue | LP","offer_id":50454911877451,"sku":"1155334","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50454912893259,"sku":"1155335","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f521e5bd-e343-4c5b-9beb-235613657e2c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727186971","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/a-round-of-applause","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
