The Hoa Hoa’s – Pop/Drone Pedals (2010)
Pop/Drone/Pedals – the most successful release by The Hoa Hoa’s to date - is available on CD with maybe 100 or so copies left for purchase as of August 2011.
The 3rd of 4 releases from the band, this 13-song album was the first recorded entirely on their own in their now famous “Mansion” in Toronto’s Kensington Market. P/D/P was highly acclaimed from all corners of the globe The UK’s Drowned In Sound saying this: “If The Hoa Hoa’s were to take the Lester Bangs ‘would I want to befriend them’ acid test they would pass, with such a laconic sound only the most uptight scenester would reject their company”.
Highlights include Postcards, Vinyl Richie, Wasting Time and Grew Up On The Seeds – a song about their love of iconic 60’s rockers The Seeds and once performed during SXSW with Sky Saxon months before he passed away in 2009.
