HOOVERiii - Quest For Blood LP (RSD 2024)

RSD 2024

Limited edition on red/white splatter vinyl.

Highly recommended.

Quest for Blood was once a cassette tape-only release, but now the debut album from the L.A. psychedelia group finally makes its way to vinyl as a limited RSD 2024 edition. All tracks were written, performed, and recorded by founding member/future frontman Bert Hoover, who crafts wonky garage-psych nuggets with just a bass, guitar, Casio, Kent drum machine and a Tascam 414.

Complete with remixing/remastering by Mark Rains and mastering by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Total Control), it gives life to hidden melodies and kaleidoscopic instrumentals, without sacrficing its ameutrish, lo-fi, and outsider charms.
