Hooverphonic |
From Belgium, this ambient pop/electronica group initially was led by Liesje Sandonis on their debut, A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular. Since then, they have been guided by the voice of Geike Arnaert. Hooverphonic have the depth and minor quality of Portishead and their heavy use of ambient synth is comparable to the new age sound of Enya. Their hit single "2 Wicky," built around a loop from the Isaac Hayes' classic version of "Walk On By," falls nicely in the Trip-Hop category, yet doesn't represent their rock-driven sound evidenced on such albums as the 2000 release The Magnificent Tree.Find Hooverphonic cds and Hooverphonic records on Epic Records. |
