Hooky surprises fans with release of new world music album
The musical duo Hooky from Philadelphia has collaborated with some of the leading names in contemporary shoegaze music, such as They Are Gutting A Body Of Water and Winter. However, their latest release gives listeners the chance to experience their unique sound on their own terms. With little fanfare, Hooky surprised fans on Monday night by dropping their latest album, “World Music,” consisting of 14 new tracks.
The songs on “World Music” evoke a hazy, dream-like atmosphere that brings to mind elements of vaporwave music, as well as the mellow tones of Canadian bands like TOPS and Men I Trust, and the experimental shoegaze stylings of They Are Gutting A Body Of Water. The album is a blend of slowcore guitars and upbeat breakbeats, creating a juxtaposition that keeps the listener engaged. The heavily processed vocals and keyboard sounds on the album blend together at times, creating a surreal and immersive listening experience where it’s hard to distinguish between samples and manipulated original recordings.
Most of the tracks on “World Music” are lo-fi instrumentals that transport listeners to different emotional and imaginative spaces. The album is a sonic journey that invites the listener to explore new musical landscapes and textures. If you’re looking for music that will take you on a captivating and unpredictable adventure, “World Music” is the album for you.
