Out today, new singles ‘She Wants To Know’, and ‘Hello My Name Is Yesterday’ are both taken from Duane Hoover‘s ‘Magic Mirror Story Book’ album, and are sure to satisfy fans of his nostalgic sound.
‘She Wants To Know’, the A Side of this double release, brings with it a psychedelic vibe that will possibly remind listeners of late era Beatles; but within that there’s also a Laurel Canyon sound, suggesting that Hoover is drawing not just from his British Invasion influences, but also the likes of homegrown artists like The Byrds. Suffice to say, his inspiration is the past, and that’s what fans love best.
Listen to ‘She Wants To Know’ below.
Hoover’s second release for the day, ‘Hello My Name Is Yesterday’ brings with it a more early 70s sound, rather than late 60s. This time he’s fully channelling Marc Bolan and Tyrannosaurus Rex; close your eyes and visualise Bolan sitting cross-legged surrounded by likeminded individuals hanging off his every word. Hoover’s ability to fully capture this sound and, chameleon-like, transform himself into whichever artist he’s channelling, is a testimony to his talent.
