Thanks to the radio ubiquity of 2Wicky (from their debut album, A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular), Hooverphonic won mainstream attention and early admission into the trip-hop pantheon. But this Belgian group’s sound was always closer to the warm etherealness and pop aspirations of bands like Australia’s Single Gun Theory than the wispy experimentalism of Britain’s Portishead. Well, they’ll probably still be labeled a trip-hop band, but The Night Before is essentially an electronica-tinged symphonic pop album.
And a very strong one, at that.
