The Belgian trio Hooverphonic haphazardly tinkers around with ambient pop on its debut album.

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. Debut single "2 Wicky" struts with a mysterious bass

drop, and it's Sadonius' sexy vocal charm that fully ties it all together. Other tracks such as

"Inhaler" and "Revolver" are moody but danceable, whereas "Nr. 9" blasts with hazy My Bloody

Valentine -like distortion. The artistic purpose of such musical beauty defines Hooverphonic's

initial concept. A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular depicts a glossy confidence.
