Hanson's third studio album, UNDERNEATH, finds the boys striking an engaging balance between the classic rock moves they explored on 2000's THIS TIME AROUND and the gleeful pop of MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, their hit 1997 debut. With help from power-pop icon Matthew Sweet (on the title track), singer/songwriter David Garza, Gregg Alexander of the New Radicals, and studio aces such as Abe Laboriel and Greg Wells, Hanson delivers a potent mix of mature lyricism, feel-good rhythms, and glorious three-part harmonies that only sibling groups can pull off. Sporting melodies that echo every devotee of the perfect hook from Harry Nilsson to Stevie Wonder, UNDERNEATH not only reveals Hanson to be an increasingly formidable band, it also shows brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zachary having fun in the process.
