Belgium (1995 – present)
Hooverphonic is a Belgian rock/pop group formed in 1995. Though initially placed in the trip-hop genre, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be classified so easily. The band originally called themselves Hoover but later changed their name to Hooverphonic due to other groups using the Hoover name.
The band achieved international recognition through the inclusion of the track 2Wicky (from A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular) on the soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1996 film Stealing Beauty (Io Ballo da Sola).
The original members of the group were vocalist Liesje Sadonius, keyboardist Frank Duchêne, bass guitarist and programmer Alex Callier, and guitarist Raymond Geerts. Sadonius left Hooverphonic on amicable terms shortly after the release of A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular and was replaced by Geike Arnaert in early 1998. Duchêne left the band after Blue Wonder Power Milk. Arnaert left the band in 2008 and was succeeded by Noémie Wolfs.
Hooverphonic released their fifth studio album No More Sweet Music in November 2005, featuring four singles: Wake Up, You Hurt Me, Dirty Lenses and We All Float. One year later they released a Best Of album called Singles 96-06. This was their latest release under the Sony label.
Hooverphonic released their latest album The President Of The LSD Golf Club on 8th October 2007 in Belgium and Holland, which includes the single Expedition Impossible. European Release January 2008 (although available via mail-order). This was an independent release, recorded at the Willie Nelson studios in the USA.

I think Noemi sings rather well. Her voice has a nice sharp edge.

New singer = very pretty and very nice voice but vocally one step down from Geike... It was quite difficult to find a proper replacement for Geike to sing the old songs anyway.. Geike was at least half the band.

Noémie isn't Geike or Liesje but she can sing, no doubt 'bout that. Alex just shouldn't use over-production to hide his writersblock ^^ [2]

Wuchina, they never been trip-hop band, but always been a pop, excellent (avant, art) pop band. But i agree, their latest album is surely not their highest. Let's believe that it was warm-up with new singer :)

the new album is really bad. i agree it's not up to the new singer, it's up to the change of music style. sounds like some pale pop instead of excellent trip-hop i expected from them.

new singer's voice is beautiful. i think it's not about the new singer, it's about the album they made with the new singer. it has nothing to do with the old hooverphonic albums.
