Where it came from
Hark! The Ho Ho Hoey Hits! was released in 2023 by Surfdog Records as a retrospective compilation of Gary Hoey’s long-standing holiday project, Ho Ho Hoey. Hoey, a renowned rock guitarist known for his mastery of the surf-rock style, began recording instrumental Christmas albums in the mid-1990s. This specific release serves to collect the most popular tracks from those seasonal recordings, which were originally conceptualized to marry traditional carols with aggressive, high-energy electric guitar arrangements.
The aesthetic of the collection leans into the high-octane, guitar-centric sound that became Hoey’s signature since his breakout success with Hocus Pocus in 1993. By applying his distinct, reverb-heavy surf-rock technique to secular and sacred holiday standards, Hoey carved out a niche in the seasonal music market that departed from traditional orchestral arrangements. This 2023 release is aimed at long-time listeners and collectors of instrumental holiday music, focusing on the refined production quality that characterizes his modern catalog.
