Derek Hoke readies new album, Electric Mountain (Little Hollywood, 3 Sirens), for 2020 release.
Working once again with producer, Dex Green, Hoke employs a post-modern Americana approach to his newest material. Incorporating a variety of synthesizer sounds that blend effortlessly with the acoustic and electric guitars, the sound of this record is like nothing Hoke has ever done.
Considerably more upbeat than Hoke's 2017 album, Bring The Flood, Electric Mountain has a feel a hopefulness and new beginnings. Shrugging off the past, Hoke makes way for the future.
