Hooffoot plays an eclectic blend of prog/kraut/folk/jazz rock and mixes spontaneity with carefully crafted, lyrical themes into an instrumental storytelling. The band is a tight quartet but the soundscape is often further expanded by invited guest musicians, contributing with different instruments, sounds and flavors.

The group was formed in Malmö as a trio in 2009 by bassist Pär Hallgren together with Jacob Hamilton on drums and guitar player Joakim Jönsson. A couple of years later Bengt Wahlgren joined on piano, organ and synthesizers and the current quartet was formed and has been playing together ever since. The band's unique sound arises from the intersection where the members' widely different musical experiences meet. Over the years, several guest musicians have also contributed with brass, percussion and strings both live and in the studio.
