A veteran of a multitude of indie rock and noise bands and lo-fi recording projects mostly unheard outside his home turf of Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa, Chuck Hoffman first began performing and self-releasing home-recorded music under his given name in 2008. His first album, Title Of Photograph: Filled With Dread In Los Angeles was five years in the making and made little pretense to any kind of focus, showcasing Chuck's multi-instrumental capabilities and unhinged guitar-strangling in the service of some distinctly off-center songs wandering all over the stylistic map. In addition to performing solo, Chuck backed up Iowa City songwriter Samuel Locke-Ward several times that year on bass guitar and trumpet.
After relocating to Des Moines and joining the long-respected rock band Why Make Clocks as bassist, Chuck released a second album in 2009, The Small Slate-Colored Thing, a more straightforwardly post-punk affair and partly a collaboration with Turd Burglars/Radio Dramamine drummer Bret Philp. As to what to expect next, Chuck says he intends for upcoming releases to begin from a basis of his live sound, now that he has grown comfortable with its limitations, but then again, he also claims he'll be resurrecting the walls of fuzzy guitar noise of his mid-1990s cassette releases under the name Flight Attendants; and at other times he says he plans to make a blues album. One thing seems certain: to be into Chuck Hoffman's solo music, it helps to be the kind of person who likes to be kept guessing.
