Philadelphia-based Hoots & Hellmouth creates new music for old souls. Their second full-length effort, The Holy Open Se- cret, MAD Dragon Records (ADA/WEA) continues to blaze a trail forward in the name of progressive revival. Rob Berliner, Andrew Gray and Sean Hoots return as the core trio of string slingers and harmonious vocalizers, co-producing in collabora- tion with Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) at Philadelphia's American Diamond Studio.
Blending the twisted roots of American music in a fierce and fiery alchemy, this ragtag bunch seeks a revival of spirit. Soulful three-part harmonies co-mingle with acoustic guitars, a mandolin, an upright bass and foot stomps building a synergy that bursts from both stage and speaker with aural aplomb. "It's about bleeding, sweating, crying, rejoicing," the band's Sean Hoots says of their work.
