Indiana-based foursome Hoops have announced their debut record Routines and shared lead single "Rules".
"Rules" is a breezy first taste of the LP, with bright melodies and gorgeously lo-fi tones in spades.
The Bloomington outfit are following up their self-titled debut EP, released last year, with their first music recorded in an actual studio (Rear House in Green Point, Brooklyn with Jarvis Taveniere). After those sessions the group decamped to bassist Kevin Krauter's parent's basement to "experiment" with the recordings.
Routines is released 5 May via Fat Possum.
