New Hopewell Album/SXSW Showcase

We are excited to announce that we are going into the studio next week to begin what will likely wind up being our next record. If recent rehearsals are any indication, Hopewell listeners should be prepared for deep weirdness...long passages of Rich yodelling over samples of car horns etc. As a primer we have posted our recent performance from Woodstock Radio's "Last Rays Of The Sun" (hosted by none other than Jonathan Donahue) on our site. Sit back, smoke banana peels, do some kundalini yoga because it's a semi-improvisational journey into the heart of upstate darkness.

In the meantime please check out our self-made and home-edited video for In Full Bloom, featuring the band at the height of boredom, cooped up in a small hotel room somewhere near the Canadian border. Our good friend Kengo Mikami describes it thus: "it penetrates slow and deep into the quiet and special places where people have forgotten..."

Also, want to hear Jay Green wax poetic about pornography? Or Hopewell attempt to discuss politics? Visit Uncensored Interview. No offence to anyone we happened to insult.
Finally, we are changing our trusty steed's fluids, picking burrs from his mane, rotating his horseshoes in preparation for another journey to Austin, TX. Expect a number of performances at and around the SXSW music conference. Our showcase will be on March 12 with Witch & Earthless. Tour dates are forthcoming. If the winds of fortune blow in our favor, we will cross your path as we flee the North in pursuit of Spring.
