Hooveriii release new album 'Pointe' + touring with Mudhoney
Today Los Angeles-based Hooveriii released their new album Pointe, via The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Levitation. They teased the LP via “ Dreaming ,” “ The Tall Grass ,” and “ The Ship That I Sail ,” a song that teems with fuzzed-out guitar wizardry. In creating Pointe Hoveriii found themselves drawn to the sounds of ‘60s psychedelic act Pisces to Phil Lynott’s solo releases and pioneering electronic acts like Tangerine Dream. The end result is a collection of songs that is perhaps their most accessible yet. Thematically the album explores the phenomenon of time, specifically the moment leading up to each decision where, for a brief instant, there are infinite possibilities that have yet to be distilled into a singular outcome.
This week saw Hooveriii hit the road as the direct support for Mudhoney and the run makes stops in New York City at Le Poisson Rouge on October 28 and at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles on November 14. The run concludes in Seattle with a two-night stop at The Crocodile Showroom on November 19 (21+) and November 20 (all ages). All dates are listed below.
There’s a moment leading up to each decision where, for a brief instant, there are infinite possibilities that have yet to be distilled into a singular outcome. It’s a phenomenon that has been explored over the years by novelists like Graham Greene and a concept that Hooveriii frontman Bert Hoover also feels inexplicably drawn towards. “I find that period in time to be fascinating, maybe I’m in it often, but a lot of these songs take place in that moment and that moment can last for years,” he explains. This idea lies at the conceptual core of Hooveriii’s fourth album Pointe, 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. “We just wanted to do something different,” Hoover says. “We were feeling a little burnt on guitar rock and really wanted to challenge ourselves.”
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. “I feel like on this album we were bringing a lot of influences to the forefront that we never had the maturity to accomplish before while also leaning into the humor a little bit and avoiding being full-on ‘serious songwriters,’” Hoover adds. Correspondingly, the music roster on Pointe features Hoover, Kaz Mirblouk, James Novick, Owen Barrett, Gabe Flores, Gabriel Salomon, Anna Wallace, Paco Casanova, Matt Zuk, Jon Modaff, Shaughnessy Starr, Olaf Selland and Ari B. Jones and was—and unlike previous Hooveriii releases—was recorded over an extended period of time and was both consciously and subconsciously inspired by the touring the band did in support of 2021’s Water For The Frogs and 2022’s A Round Of Applause. “I’m really grateful for all of the people who contributed to this album and it’s a long list of people but it’s important that they are all listed because we all really pulled together to make this album,” Hoover adds.
“Every record is kind of a response to the last record and I like listening to people’s discographies like that,” Hoover explains. “When we finished A Round Of Applause we were in rock mode playing with a lot of rock and psych bands and I was really thinking about what do you do with a fourth record?” The answer turns out to be something more esoteric and less predictable than a guitar-driven album while retaining the core of the band’s sound, which has made the Los Angeles-based act such an exciting act to watch evolve. From the spacey groove of the opener “Prom” to the expansive, synth-friendly ballad “This Rock” and the epic future-folk experimentation of the album’s closer “Dreaming” (which features vocals by Wallace), Pointe is an album that references the past while stretching toward an unknown future. “I think that our intuition going forward is to keep ourselves surprised and keep people who like us surprised, hopefully without isolating anyone,” he adds. Correspondingly the falsetto-fueled psychedelia of “The Tall Grass” transcends categorization while “The Ship That I Sail” is a nine-minute-long opus teeming with fuzzed-out guitar wizardry.
When it comes to the lyrics for Pointe, Hoover says that while some of these are more personal than his previous material, it’s important for him to leave the actual content up to each listener’s own interpretation. “I like songs where people can admit to being deadbeats even if it is more of a character or you’re reflecting on one aspect of your personality,” he explains. “It’s also a transitional record in a lot of ways because sonically we wanted to drift away for album number four.” Correspondingly, Hoover considers “This Rock” to be a love song. But it could just as easily be about existential dread or the way that another person can change one’s orientation to the universe. Or the countless small decisions that can lead up to an outcome and the way our own smallness can be a catalyst for putting something out into the world that can affect so many other people in unexpected and important ways. Or maybe it is about none of these things, it’s whatever it means to you.
More than anything else Pointe feels like a full circle moment for Hooveriii, which has evolved from a bedroom solo project into an expansive band that features an army of talented musicians and contributors. “In a lot of ways, Pointe feels like an epilogue to one phase of the band and a prologue to the next one,” Hoover says of how the band’s latest release fits into their musical catalog. Pointe is a collection of songs that weren’t recorded in a linear fashion but that fit together in a way that feels almost cosmic in nature. In other words, it’s Hooveriii at their most creative and undistilled. “I don't really care about trying to push the envelope forward,” However admits, looking back at the long road leading up to completing the album. “I care about making a good record that sounds cohesive—and I feel like with this one, we did a good job.”
Mudhoney's music is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, pounding drums, and the distinctive vocals of frontman Mark Arm. Their songs often have a raw, gritty quality that captures the essence of grunge music. The band's sound is influenced by punk rock, garage rock, and blues, creating a distinct sound that is all their own.
When you watch Mudhoney perform live, you can feel the energy in the room. The band members give their all on stage, and the audience can't help but be drawn into their performance. It's like being under a spell, unable to look away or resist the urge to move with the music. The Mudhoney magic bag is also a metaphor for the band's ability to captivate their audience and create a sense of community. When you attend a Mudhoney show, you become part of a larger whole, a group of people brought together by the power of music. In conclusion, the Mudhoney magic bag represents the unique and captivating experience that the band provides through their music and live performances. It's like opening a bag of tricks and being transported into a different world, where the music takes hold and you can't help but be swept away. Mudhoney has created their own brand of magic, and their fans are spellbound by it..
Reviews for "The Role of Mudhoney Magic Bag in Spiritual Rituals"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with Mudhoney's performance at the Magic Bag. The sound quality was terrible, making it hard to hear the vocals and distinguish between the instruments. The band also seemed to lack energy and enthusiasm, which made the whole experience feel lackluster. I had been looking forward to this concert for a long time, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I attended the Mudhoney show at the Magic Bag and left feeling extremely unsatisfied. The band seemed completely out of sync, with each member playing at their own pace and seemingly ignoring one another. The lack of cohesion made the songs sound disjointed and just plain bad. Additionally, the lighting was terrible, and I could hardly make out the band members' faces. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that I would not recommend to anyone.
3. Chris - 2 stars
Mudhoney's performance at the Magic Bag was underwhelming, to say the least. The band's stage presence was lackluster, and they seemed disinterested in engaging with the audience. The setlist was also quite disappointing, with only a few recognizable hits included. The sound quality wasn't great either, as the bass drowned out the vocals in many songs. I had high hopes for this show, but unfortunately, it fell short in many aspects.
