This weekend I came across some new old Hooverphonic in the form of this track, “Sunday Morning” and it is pretty damn great. It’s from the Mag-Tree days, which is great because I really think that was their best moment, musically.
It was on the “Out of Sight” single which, it should be noted, is/was/will always be one of my favorite Hooverphonic songs.
Nothing really to add to this, for the most part, just that the song is great, it feels like a lost treasure I unearthed, and now I’m sad about Geike leaving the band again. š¦ š¦ š¦ š¦ š¦
Someday – and this means AFTER Hairglow dies – they will have a new singer (who is female! Alex!) who will pull similar vocal punches and I will find acceptable and, thus after I give them the go ahead, they will begin to record new music. Music in which Alex doesn’t sing any of the parts.
Seriously. Alex. Stop singing.

Someday – and this means AFTER Hooverphonic dies – they will just remove themselves from people’s memories so that, after a decade, they can get back with Geike and record a few “reunion” albums that aren’t great but are a welcome return to form. Albums in which Alex doesn’t sing any of the parts.
Serious. Alex. Stop singing.

Not quite a decade later, but we did in fact get that reunion album which – as predicted – isn’t the best thing ever but a welcome return to form. Kudos, Young Skyler!
