Making their mark early for a fusion of sounds and genres, New York band HOKO now present their first fully realised collection of material, announcing their debut project, HEATHEN.
Inspired by a diverse range of experiences lived and sonic influences loved, the band has brought it all together in fleshing out eight tracks that represent their artistry in vivid colour.
From it, fans have already gotten a taste of Heathen in 2020’s ‘Candy Eyes’, ‘Hellogoodbye’, ‘Honest’ and ‘OK OK’. Today, a new dose of energy from it drops in HOKO’s new single, ‘Big Mistake’.
Working with Grammy nominated producer John Hill(Santigold, Cage The Elephant) and Andrew Wells (Halsey, Kaiser Chiefs), the sounds HOKO have realised on record are driven by a clear talent and grasp on indie and pop sensibilities.
Lead vocalist and songwriter Nathaniel Hoho can be hypnotic in one breath, uplifting and boisterous in the next.
The last few years have been hectic for the group. Since their debut in 2020, the band has already seen a bunch of changes take effect.
The music has been pulled from experiences lived right around the world, before the recording of HEATHEN saw the band working between New York and LA.
The sounds of HEATHEN are electrifying and stand strong to HOKO’s love for exploring new sounds and continuously pushing themselves as creatives. Adaptable and conscientious, the band has been able to work in a number of different creative environments ultimately forming a strong artistry all their own.
