From original 1996 demos to cutting-edge AI reconstructions, this is the evolving musical catalog of Hovercraft. Each release is a fragment of memory stitched back together – part archaeology, part resurrection.


Current Releases

🎸 New Pine Overcoat

Original demo · 1996

The raw 16-track original that started everything – complex youth and generational themes, the foundation for our AI reconstructions.

“When we hit the road / We'll be on our way / We'll be on our way”


Original Catalog (1995–1996)

👑 Mr Tooting Brown

Original demo · Oct 1995 · Local chart #1

The breakthrough demo that put Hovercraft on the map. 16-track recording that hit #1 in the local demo charts.

“Mr Tooting Brown / The King has lost his crown / He took the first train out of town this morning…”

😇 Angel

Original composition · 1996

One of Charlie's most sophisticated pieces – love, obsession and self-sabotage.

🦸 Superman

Original composition · 1996

Superhero metaphors for identity and fragility – false bravado hiding the wobble underneath.

🕺 Cool Jerk

Soul cover · 1996

Their electrifying take on the classic – Northern soul energy with Hovercraft’s slightly unhinged edge.

🎵 I Got My Mojo Workin'

Blues interpretation · 1996

A Muddy Waters staple pulled through a 90s alt-rock filter – respect for the blues, but teeth still bared.

In progress · the difficult one

“Mr Tooting Brown seems impossible” – so far, no AI model will behave. We’re still trying to coax the original magic out of the noise.
