HOOGENBOOM, the project of California-based singer/songwriter Brandon Hoogenboom, is back with a contrite but redemptive new single “The Violinist (Paralyzed & Penalized)”. The majority of the track is spent oscillating effortlessly between two different but wonderfully complimentary grooves before the subtle cosmic elements sprinkled throughout finally take the reins to bring it all home. “The Violinist” is off HOOGENBOOM’s upcoming full-length debut Good For Nothing (A Spiraling Blackout Montage).
“This is a song about missing an old friend and bandmate from my time living in Australia. Sadly, the band didn’t really end on good terms and it took a long time to recover from the breakup. Luckily, I have since been able to rekindle friendships with the other members of the band,” says Hoogenboom.
