Staying true to eclectic ambience through dramatic electronic music, Hooverphonic are known as the "best-kept secret of Belgian Pop".. to quote Frank Duchêne (Keyboards) : "We wanted to get the chance to grow and build up a reputation. Being the hype of the month doesn't interest us". One cannot deny that next to making fascinating and intriguing music, the mystical aura around "Hooverphonic" contributed to the success they are having now and not just in Belgium, not just in Europe, but also in the States. Known simply as Hoover across Europe, the group made their initial
splash contributing the song "2Wicky" to the soundtrack of the 1996 Bernardo Bertolucci film Stealing Beauty. Lead singer Liesje Sadonius is sultry while defining Hooverphonic's
signature shoegazer-like vocalics, with almost impressive electronic
support from guitarists Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts and keyboardist
Frank Duchêne. If your into Portishead, Lamb or Moloko, you’ll love Hooverphonic. Buy their previous albums from Amazon - Listen to new Track here
