"baby / I've been feeling so lonely / like you don't even know me / even when I'm away..."
The psych rock sweep and swagger of "Westside Pavilion Of Dreams" by L.A.'s Hooveriii, and from their 5th full length album "Manhunter", has as much to do with the pure unadulterated rock heaviness as it does with the through the looking glass atmosphere. I mean, as grounded as the bottom heavy massiveness is as classic rock anchors, there is an off kilter thing happening here as well. Artistic drunken stumbles and 60's hippie high acidic moments to be had.
The song, accompanied with a wonderfully wacky absurdist Official Video is pure escapist stuff and, quite frankly something that is much needed during these fucking frightening times. Psychedelic rock has always been fused in a 60's seeded counter culture and a battering ram of social change against foreign wars, against the ruling class and all it represents. AND yes, against a Nazi billionaire who attempts to produce a small army of eugenically produced super children while trying to rid society of the unkempt, icky lower class.
I love the huge sonic guitar plunge here, the extraordinary bass line that has a John Entwistle kind of sound and mastery, the free wheeling drum work, the cosmic organ / synth pushes, the squealing bending lead guitar lines and the dreamy vocal expressions. It's all here to partake in and spread around.

After four albums of extra-dimensional exploration, Hooveriii delivered “Manhunter” with the controls set directly for the heart of the cosmic groove. Expertly synthesizing their influences and still managing to bring even more to the party, from spiky post punk to beautiful new age excursions and mammoth 70’s arena rock hooks, “Manhunter” delivers not only their best album yet but an instant classic for all the psych-heads, stoners and dimensionauts.
