The Sorts


Common Time - 1995


More There - 1998

The Sorts sorta completes the Hoover geneology. Christopher Farrall plays drums for the Sorts with Joshua LaRue from Rain Like the Sound of Trains and Sevens and Stuart Fletcher plays a very nice bass. All three went on to play in Sea Tiger with Joseph P. and Joeseph played in the Sorts on their last release Six Plus. Its such a complicated web. The Sorts sounds way more like RLT/SOT and Sevens than any other Hoover related band. LaRues guitar playing is something to behold and the bass and drums lock in perfectly, toying around with every little tangent. The songs are mostly instrumental, but LaRue sings occasionally, and hes not that bad. More There is an awesome album everyone should have and Common Time is more basic, but still pretty jazzy and awesome.

Definitely digging the Sorts. Never really listened to them much, and I really can't remember why. Thanks for these.
