DOWNLOAD: Hopewell - Realms Of Gold

It sounds like Hopewell have seen some times. After ten-plus years of releasing records, touring relentlessly, fighting, staying in hospitals, recording with Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, CYHSY) and doing whatever else perpetually almost-there bands do (drink?), they’ve been hard at work on a sixth, self-produced album for the psych gurus at Tee Pee Records. “Realms Of Gold”—the first teaser from the sessions—is the sound of five dudes messing with war paint and black lights in their smelly basement, a battle anthem for those who kill brain cells and watch too much National Geographic TV and listen to too many early Cream records. The band will launch a trans-continental tour tomorrow night in Chicago (dates after the links), where they’ll open up for the deified My Bloody Valentine. So, if you’re headed to the gig, bring earplugs for sure and show up early, 'cause these dudes can get pretty loud too.

Sounds like: Cream, Fugazi, Grey Matter
