After four albums of extra-dimensional exploration, Hooveriii returns with Manhunter, a record that locks into the heart of the cosmic groove with laser precision. Blending their diverse influences into a seamless sonic journey, the band delivers a genre-bending experience that fuses spiky post-punk energy with soaring '70s arena rock hooks and dreamy new-age passages. The result is not just their most accomplished work to date but an instant classic for psych-rock enthusiasts, stoner rock devotees, and adventurous sonic travelers alike.
Set for release on May 16th via The Reverberation Appreciation Society, Manhunter was produced by Kaz Mirblouk, Bert Hoover III, and Eric Bauer. The album’s expansive sound was captured primarily by Bauer at Discount Mirrors (RIP) in May 2023, with select tracks ("In the Rain," "Cul-De-Sac," and "Night Walks in Monteaux") recorded by Mark Rains at Station House in April 2024. Mastering duties were handled by Nick Townsend, ensuring that every layer of fuzz-drenched riffs and hypnotic rhythms hits with full sonic impact.
