Based in Brooklyn, The Hogstad Brothers is a duo of songwriter-producer-instrumentalists and DJs who deliver a fiercely unique exploration of music and visual art. Originally from Palmdale in California, Jonathan and Brandon Hogstad moved to New York back in 2008, carrying with them a mix of varied musical tastes and strong creative chemistry.
Over the years, they’ve forged a style that blurs the lines between immersive dance music and innovative performance art, crafting live experiences that stitches together their signature groove-driven sound with psychedelic, dancer-interactive projections. Using hacked infrared depth cameras, their performances are just as visually enthralling as they are musically thrilling.
As the creative minds behind the Flyer Learning project, The Hogstad Brothers have earned acclaim for their cutting-edge production techniques. In 2021, they stepped into the spotlight under their own name, releasing the A World of Love & Hate EP in collaboration with singer Shola Adisa-Farrar before taking a hiatus from sharing their original studio sound with the world.
Now, The Hogstad Brothers are back with their latest release, bringing us their brand new single titled “Spinning Round,” lifted from their upcoming album Creatures in the Dirt. This genre-fluid psych pop track perfectly distils their ability to bring together intricate production with profound storytelling. Blending elements of indie pop, funk and experimental vibes, the song takes listeners on a kaleidoscopic journey that recounts the tale of a psychedelic explorer descending from the heights of spiritual ecstasy and confronting the shadows that inevitably resurface.
Set up by the slide of a bass guitar, the rattle of percussive shots ushers in airy vocal lines, crafting a grooving jam that flows with intricate instrumental textures. Wrapped in an immersive sonic fabric and driven by popping basslines and the relentless drive of the beat, “Spinning Round” delivers an infectious and danceable outing that’s at once thoroughly original and entirely engaging throughout.
Offering the perfect taste of their latest musical chapter, “Spinning Round” sees The Hogstad Brothers make an emphatic return. With their forthcoming full-length record on the horizon, 2025 is set to be another spectacular year for this talented sibling duo.
