Hippie Cream Brings Hope to your Skull

    Hippie Cream is back with a brand new lo-fi treasure. The group returns to their garage recording roots with Uncle Cory in the Captain Seat. This creamy collection of 14 new songs represents the best aspects of the band: 

- the tender wisdom behind Bob's vocals
- those soft snare "clacks" that Drummer Sean breaths into the microphone
- the hop-a-long horse-bounce that is a "Travis" bass line
- the layered melodies of Sean Longstreet's deepest desires
- a cast of heartbreaking heroes, as only uncle cory can write them
- the low tones of wesley's beard personified through vocal vibration 
- a mix-match of different vocal takes piled on each other
- general white noise under the songs

It has been a while since we heard new material from Hemet's oldest band. It's good to have them back with a "Skull Full of Hope." 

In true Hippie Cream fashion, the project has inspired a pitter patter of inspiration through the collective:

- a new Gatsby's Fiddle album
- a Hippie Cream Concert Film / Documentary in the works
- Cory is now brewing his own beer

Let's "hope" it's not another year until we get more material from these strangers in the basement. 

Hippie Cream Goes Deep in the Tiki Hut

We all know that Hippie Cream is my favorite Band, but where are they now? There are rumors of a new EP coming out. There are rumors of Band Leader Cory Houdyshell moving to the Central Coast this year. What will the future of the band be? I have no Fishin' idea! 

The Fishman Team had to capture Hippie Cream in an appropriate environment and explore the vast back catalogue of classic songs (100+ Cream Cuts and counting).

The Band travelled to a Tiki Hut in the mountains of Idyllwild, CA and recorded some of their deepest cuts: Takin' a Fish / My Neighbor / Pray That When I Die / Pee Paw I'm Gonna Save Ya / Creepy Old Guy / The Magical Chocolate Flute.
