{"product_id":"767981160818","title":"ROUTINES | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. Bloomington, 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":"HOOPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46066143789301,"sku":"767981160818","price":21.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0767981160818.jpg?v=1731308404","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/767981160818","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
