Artist Biography
by Richie Unterberger
Hughscore is named after veteran prog-rock/fusion bassist
Hugh Hopper, who plays in the band and writes much of their material. Their 1999 album
Delta Flora is fusiony rock that's in the spirit of his past work in that style with the
Soft Machine
and other projects. Texturally it's more interesting and varied than
many similar such efforts, incorporating free-form jazz, fuzz bass, some
ominous electronic keyboards and synthesizer, and ambient passages that
superficially bear some resemblance to new age music, but are far
creepier.
Hughscore vary between instrumentals and more melodic, approachable songs with lyrics, sung by keyboardist
Elaine diFalco (who also writes some of the tracks on the album) with a jazzy, measured presence.
