- Hooveriii - "See" From their new record A Round of Applause
Pre-Order the Vinyl & Merch: bit.ly/hooveri...
Today the band shares the first take of the album by way of A Round Of Applause’s opening track, “See.” The band’s Bert Hoover notes, “‘See’ is about trying not to take life for granted. Some things are easier said than done. It’s our first song to feature Anna Wallace singing along with us and it came together rather seamlessly. It was a pretty bare bones jangle jam until the band filled it with ear candy.”
The video was filmed on 16mm at the Trona Pinnacles in Trona CA. Conceived and co-directed by the mighty Nikki Houston and Owen Summers it features aliens stranded on earth try to find their way home until things go very wrong.
Los Angeles psych-rock band Hooveriii (pronounced "Hoover Three") have announced the July 29 release of their new album A Round of Applause. The LP is being released by The Reverberation Appreciation Society on July 29th 2022.
Hooverii have confirmed their first U.S. tour in support of A Round of Applause. The dates kick off July 23 in Oceanside, CA and conclude in Phoenix, CA on August 27.
Though created in large part by founder Bert Hoover, Hooveriii has grown to include
Gabe Flores (lead guitar and vocals), Kaz Mirblouk (bass and synths), James Novick (synths), and Owen Barrett (drums).
Prior to delving into A Round of Applause - Hoveriii’s second album through The Reverberation Appreciation Society -the band had stuck to a routine of issuing about two releases a year (including singles, live albums, etc.). After the rise of a certain five-letter word that starts with a C, they realized that time really shouldn’t be taken for granted. Finding additional inspiration via Nick Cave, who once said that dabbling with new ideas continues to fuel his near-50-year career, the band decidedly took a different approach with their new album and gave themselves the freedom to explore in the studio.
The end result is A Round of Applause, an expansive and even, at times, experimental record.
Whereas 2021’s Water for the Frogs was akin to a jam-band record - most of its seven songs are about five minutes long (including a closing track that lasts nearly 10) - A Round of Applause could be considered their “pop” album. Occasionally paying homage to the Canterbury scene, the band consider it to be a palette cleanser of sorts. “I am not really a playlist guy or a singles guy,” Hoover admits. “I’m really into the album experience. … So yeah, we made a pop record. But also, to me, this record is very progressive as well, and I think that that provides a nice balance.” HE previously referred to Water for the Frogs as the band’s equivalent of Iggy Pop’s The Idiot. Playing with that idea he says A Round of Applause is the kindred spirit of Lust For Life.
Hooveriii derived the album title from the late-‘80s Roky Erickson song “Click Your Fingers Applauding the Play.” “That’s too much of a mouthful,” Hoover qualified. “My title, A Round of Applause, just came one day, and we were like, ‘Yo, that sounds like a Gentle Giant record.’”
Reflecting the mostly lighthearted and uplifting record, A Round of Applause closes cheekily - but not sarcastically - with the sound of people clapping. Hoover adds graciously: “We've been lucky so far. I don't think we really have a, you know, ‘bad song.’ ”
Maybe one will, someday. But Hoover doesn’t dwell on that; after all, his band has more records to make - and time is of the essence.

This Is easily my favourite song of the year so far! Possibly my favourite Hooveriii track to date too. If this is bettered in 2022 the only band I can imagine doing that would be....Hooveriii. I can't express enough just how happy I am that this song exists.

Congratulations. This album made Timmy Joe's Twelve August 2022 playlist. Actually, it was my album of the month!
Cool video...Looks like it must have fun to make.
Great sound!!!
This song is the stuff! I cannot wait until this whole album. GREAT VIDEO~
This album made me happy, like really happy. What a journey!
🔥
Great song!
I discovered such a massive amount of good music thanks to Levitation. Keep up the good work, guys!
This rocks guys
I watched the whole Levitation Sessions 2022, and what a trip that whole thing was. Saw this amazing band on there too. I loved every band I heard in that. I hope you all upload the whole thing on here, cause people need to experience it!
Love it 😎
Sick tunes, though aesthetically this skirts too close for comfort with KGLW's video work with Nonagon Infinity.
This is killer.
Buenísimo 💯
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG
KOOL!
Was this filmed at the Trona pinnacles?
funk yeah
KLF?
If Babe Rainbow and Gizz had a baby
With a dash of Ty Segall😉
Hooveriii are truly unique. It's almost insulting that people only have the "Flightless bands" to compare these guys to. This sounds nothing like either.
@@whistlecrimes Imagine getting offended over someone’s opinion
@@whistlecrimes Someone also hasn’t listened to Hoveriii’s self-titled. If you can’t hear the similarities you are daft.
I don’t get the animosity if they have a sound reflecting bands you already love and Hooveriii being in the genre. Obviously bands write songs in a style they themselves love so there are influences. I saw Hooveriii in October and they kicked ass and played with two other bands that were also influenced by Gizz and Osees and Ty…the more the merrier because y’all see the state of popular music and it sucks. Let’s enjoy this people😎✌🏼
NO....THEY'RE NOT RIPPING OFF THE BEATLES...NO...THEY'RE JUST..."INFLUENCED" BY THEM...YES, THAT'S IT!

Awesome tune. But the music video is a complete Gizzard ripoff
