After releasing three albums with their band Candy Claws, Karen and Ryan
Hover have evolved into Sound of Ceres. Joined by Robert Schneider of the
Apples In Stereo and Jacob Graham of the Drums, Sound of Ceres draws
influence from an array of genres and decades, exploring soundscape-laden,
dreamy pop. The Colorado-based group crafts a lush, ethereal sound which
pulls as much from mid-century lounge music and '70s nature documentary
soundtracks as it does from '90s shoegaze and modern sampling techniques.
Sound of Ceres' debut LP, Nostalgia for Infinity, is released March 4th 2016
on Joyful Noise Recordings. The album is a conceptual retelling of the '60s
Brazilian hit "The Girl from Ipanema" - except the girl is replaced with a
spinning antiprism, and the unrequited longing is replaced with an existential
shout into the expanding universe. Nostalgia for Infinity also explores the
parallel between the '60s hit song and Marcel Proust's novel In Search of
Lost Time, in which Proust describes "a world beyond us but within our
understanding."
