The Daily Spin II

Hoonch | Audio Paradiso

Welcome back to the Daily Spin. For the uninitiated, this is the series in which I review an album every day of 2025.

As was the case two years ago, my favorite song from each album can be found at the playlist linked here.

Album: Audio Paradiso (2017)

Artist: Hoonch

I don’t think I can honestly say that this album is going to be particularly memorable in any sense. There’s one track that made my Los Angeles playlist, one track that stood out as pretty mediocre below the rest, and a whole bunch that just kinda flow.

For an EP, it’s perfectly standard West Coast indie pop offerings - solid, unremarkable, overdone to eternity. The problem here is that so many different artists have done this same damn thing before and done it better. There’s not much reason to come back to this, but it sounds good in the sun.
