Hooveriii – “Westside Pavilion of Dreams”

Cali’s own fever dream denizens, Hooveriii, follow up one of their most meticulous albums, 2023’s prog-stacked stunner Pointe, with one of their most immediate. Trading layered psych-pop sundries for the cathartic crunch of guitars, the new album tears out of the speakers on the ozone burn of “Westside Pavilion of Dreams.” Recorded with Eric Bauer at the short-lived psych-punk pressure cooker Discount Mirrors, the new album lets the amps sweat and the hooks grow large. “WPoD” blends the band’s early grit, hung with the thick taste of glam ’n garage, and splashes it across their more recent widescreen approach. The single comes with a saturated pop-art video in tow (via Logan Feser), turning the ode to stagnation into a technicolor epic with an Evil knievel on a shoestring feel. The new single crops up on the upcoming album, Manhunter, which finds its way out of the shadows May 16th from The Reverberation Appreciation Society / Levitation.
