Spencer Hoffman Announces Roses Fly

I really enjoyed Spencer Hoffman‘s 2002 LP, Apple Core, so it’s exciting to hear that there’s a new EP on the way this May. Our first listen has a bit of a ghostly western vibe to it, offering up a slight twist on modern cosmic country. In a sense, it’s almost as if the tune’s struggling on the turntable, warped through the years of being played; you can hear that sparkling twang, but as it fills the air, it seems to sort of hang eternally. Ultimately, it allows for Hoffman’s voice to hang in there and almost whisper its melody into your ear, which worked to great effect. Looking forward to the release of the Roses Fly EP; it’s out on May 10th via Anxiety Blanket Records.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (1.10 – 1.14)

Well, I will admit, there were so many songs last week that I loved that I may have gotten a touch carried away. I mean that new Methyl Ethyl with Stella Donnelly is a banger, plus new stuff from our friends in Blushing and the Reds Pinks and Purples! We even got to premiere some sweet tunes that only exist in special places, like our site, namely the latest from Yea-Ming and the Rumors and Good Grief. So, browse through this hour of tunes, and I beg you to find a bad one in there. You can’t! I’ll try to keep up the momentum this week!

 

Intimate Tune From Spencer Hoffman

Spencer Hoffman is a young, up and coming musician who has spent the last 10 years in the SoCal music scene, most notably in the group Honyock. Coming into 2022, he has stepped out on his own with a new solo EP entitled A Flower From Behind coming out on February 25th via Park the Van Records. Prior to his release date, Hoffman has dropped this lovey tune called “Like a Bird” which gives off a strong, early Neil Young vibe with it’s twangy guitar and high pitched vocals. I think you’ll find it fits in well with our overcast winter days.
