On “Manhunter”, their fifth full-length, Hooveriii distil a wide orbit of influences—spiky post-punk, lush new age, 70s arena rock—into a lean, cosmic psych-rock album that hits with clarity and purpose.
While previous records revelled in exploratory jams and interdimensional detours, “Manhunter” locks into the groove, delivering hooks with precision and riding expansive rhythms straight into the heart of the trip. It’s their most confident and cohesive work to date—equal parts propulsion and psychedelia, made for heads-down listening or lift-off moments.
After four albums of extra-dimensional exploration, Hooveriii delivered “Manhunter” with the controls set directly for the heart of the cosmic groove. Expertly synthesizing their influences and still managing to bring even more to the party, from spiky post punk to beautiful new age excursions and mammoth 70’s arena rock hooks, “Manhunter” delivers not only their best album yet but an instant classic for all the psych-heads, stoners and dimensionauts.
