"[Deek Hoi] is everything magical you remember about your childhood--plunky pianos, whimsical daydreams, wobbly space sounds, and that 'lets see what happens when . . .' curiosity that most of us tend to lose or abandon roundabout the age of 10." LESLIE WYLIE, METRO PULSE

"Likely the best kept band secret of '06, this fabulous trio makes some of the warmest, most comfortable, and soulful music you've heard. well written songs harmonized over layers of simplistic but widely colorful multi-instrumental arrangements featuring drums, acoustic bass, acoustic guitar, banjo, organ, synthesizer, and xylophone. a real gem [.]" JASON BOARDMAN, THEPILOTLIGHT.COM

"Deek Hoi . . . produce[s] music that is light on guitar and enriched with upright bass, toy synths and fluttering piano melodies[;] the electronica influences eccentrically combine with traditional folk to create melodies that are as warm and catchy as they are intriguing . . .

Whow, what a sound. Real great and amazing, whow. Thank you for being friends this way. Greetings from Last Waterhole, Dirt Farm, Austria. Stay well and come back, KN.
I have posted a link a while ago, but it doesnt exist anymore. The song is being worked on and might be up again. Instead I have uploaded another new song in my player called "Stop Ticking". Also "California Son" is rather new.
Remember when trouble’s lasted only as long as the story books end And pages were drawn And broken glass still reflects memories continuing Up the very same stairs
And still I wonder where did we go wrong? I laughed with you just yesterday And yet that feels so long I still sleep in the sheets we fell beneath And still I wonder what did we do wrong? It never seemed to feel that way I never was that strong But who am I to speak Were we in love for just a week
And time just stands still Without familiar smiles filling my cup to the brim As I drink it all in With pane so think, looking out to see you’re the only one Being embraced by the sun
Dear Friends,
Just few second to inform you that my new single “Lost in Your Mind” is out now. I invite you to listen the previews on my profile: It's glad your feedback!
Cheers
Francesco
