Hoop Dreams - XCPR

The debut 7” release from Virginia’s Hoop Dreams, appears, on first listen, to be an enjoyably electrifying homage to British post-punk (Orange Juice, The Cure), though one can’t escape the feeling that there’s a considerably wider musical palette at work here – surf, 60s psych-pop, new wave. Web-wise there’s not an awful lot to go on; according to The Stool Pigeon, XCPR comes out in June via Brooklyn label Captured Tracks, home to Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils.
