hovercraft are revived through technology and a dream in album “Blown Away”

Welcome to lore you’ll never forget-hovercraft. From the lost catalogue of brilliant musician and songwriter Piers “Charlie Pepper” Wildman-you’re brought the analog vibrations and hazy buzz of what used to be live band recordings. With the actual real use of AI.-to resurrect and help humanity, this band brings an album to us with Suno AI and Band Lab for rock that will long carry the stamp of time-beloved by fans everywhere. This album is called Blown Away.

Opening with Indie Kid, there’s no break time for count ins. Digitised vocals come along with hard rock chord progressions and tones to give you all that thrill in a Venti cup. hovercraft is the dream of a band that can keep their hopes of longevity alive through the miracles of tech and raw, charging talent. Rather than bring the tempo down, the band continues forth with Superman. A kids dream, an escapists vision, this number is one that can easily become a radio rock staple that blasts through the stereo.

Travelling through experiences

I love the range hovercraft are able to bring in their songwriting. These Days has a softer appeal, from the tones to the way the guitars come across. Vocals are far more gentle, like a lullaby paced to a fun rhythm. The bass hisses through in this track brilliantly, balanced with the echoing guitar parts to be the heartbeat of the song. Back to the grind with Oh Yeah, we’re looking at rock tracks that become your swagger entry. 

Tones are inked with that orange muff that came from the grunge era, with a lot more finesse and panache. How are you still seated while listening to these songs? I found myself awkwardly grooving to this in front of my partner. She found it apt to join in as well. Pass The Night Nurse shows hovercraft having impressive dynamic range in their compositions. There is a far more minimal palette going on here, with that dramatic Broadway tune flash coming in during the bridge and chorus. I loved the intensity of the vocals creating quite the flurry in the vision of this song. Great compositions and balance to how much energy is packed into these numbers. 

Songwriting, with purpose

We go mellow with Low, becoming the ebb to the incredible flow we’ve been experiencing. Charlie showed a taste incredibly well travelled, capturing in a capsule what it’s like to live through this world. From Winchester to Grimsby to Brighton to India-there’s a small part of all these places in these songs, and how it’s been presented to the listener. Through 13 songs that capture an entire stream of conscience and experience, hovercraft show us that all music still needs a beating heart and soul behind its creation. It’s safe to say the entire collection blew us away:
