Bloomington, Indiana's Hoops will release their full-length debut album Routines on May 5th via Fat Possum, and today they share the record's second single "On Top." "I just felt like writing a cheesy feel-good positive song," Kevin Krauter (vox, bass) explains. In the song's trippy music video, Hoops perform on a public access TV show when all of a sudden the viewers find themselves immersed in the performance. Watch "On Top" via Gorilla vs. Bear now. Pre-order Routines HERE.
