{"product_id":"reflection-1","title":"Reflection","description":"\u003cp\u003eReflection is the eighth studio album by Belgian band Hooverphonic — the songwriting duo of Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts — released on November 15, 2013 via Columbia\/Sony Music. It marked the second studio record featuring vocalist Noémie Wolfs, who had first joined the group for 2010's The Night Before, and was preceded by a pair of orchestral releases. The album's most distinctive feature is the unconventional recording approach Callier and Geerts devised under the name \"Hooverdomestic\": rather than booking a conventional studio, they invited fans to submit their homes as recording locations, ultimately selecting five private residences in Belgium — including a farmhouse, an old brick factory, and a castle — along with a church. The natural acoustics and spatial reverb of these spaces gave the album a warm, analogue character that stands apart from the more densely layered productions of the band's earlier catalogue, and the album's title is itself a nod to this: reverb being, in physics, nothing more than the reflection of sound waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonically, Reflection represented a decisive shift away from the trip-hop and electronica roots that defined Hooverphonic in the late 1990s, leaning instead into guitar-driven pop with echoing harmonies, surf-inflected riffs, and lush ballads. Strings were deliberately omitted — a conscious choice to foreground Wolfs' voice, which had matured considerably through years of touring. Three additional young vocalists and instrumentalists were brought in to widen the sonic texture. \nThe album opened at number one on the Ultratop 200 Albums in the Flemish region of Belgium and was certified Platinum by the Belgian Entertainment Association, driven by five singles including the buoyant opener \"Amalfi,\" which reached number one on the Belgian airplay chart within three weeks of release, as well as \"Ether,\" \"Boomerang,\" \"ABC of Apology,\" and \"Gravity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Translucent Red Vinyl","offer_id":53629845995834,"sku":"38541","price":45.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-19_at_2.11.43_PM.jpeg?v=1781892808","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/reflection-1","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
