The Hoosiers - Secret Services

Release Date:11/06/2015;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the fourth album by the British alt-rock/pop band. The Hoosiers' plan to release new music as it was recorded on a series of EPs throughout 2015 was thwarted by virtue of asking the fans if they liked the idea. The near-unanimous response was "We want an album!" - so the band returned to the studio to finish The Secret Service. Engaging directly with fans in a continual online dialog has enriched and revitalized the band, not least because of the (amicable) departure of long-time bass player Martin Skarendahl but it has also served to vindicate their decision to set up their own business and label for self-releasing. Shattering their previous run of an album every three to four years, this release - only a year after their third album - reveals a band hitting their stride through a purple patch improving as they discover they have more to say than ever.;Track List:1.
