{"product_id":"hoops-routines-music-cd-767981160825","title":"Hoops - Routines - Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eBloomington, IN based four-piece band Hoops craft hyper-melodic songs, built around power-pop chords, deceptively complex drum patterns, and rock-anthem sentiments that hide some tellingly dark thoughts. Three of the four members write and sing, each a frontman and a sideman simultaneously. During a live show, the bandmates can be seen frequently swapping instruments and positions on stage. The setup isn't democratic so much as it is simply adaptable and committed: doing what the song demands, getting the sound just right. Hoops' full-length debut, Routines is a bittersweet and honest record that sounds both warmly familiar and jarringly distinctive. Whereas their previous releases were recorded on four-track tape machines in living rooms and basements, Routines marks the band's first sessions in an actual studio - namely, Rear House Recording in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with Jarvis Taveniere (Widowspeak, Quilt). Those sessions, however, were just one step in the band's careful creative process. After a few months of touring, they returned to Indiana to set up their gear in bassist\/vocalist Kevin Krauter's parents' basement and began experimenting with the studio-recorded tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49208285987058,"sku":"FAPO16082.2","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3178840-3165161.jpg?v=1778873701","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/hoops-routines-music-cd-767981160825","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
