Houndmouth: ‘For No One’

November 10, 2014 0 comments

hmouth14-c

Houndmouth have been hard at work this Summer in West Nashville with producer Dave Cobb recording their follow-up to last year’s debut LP, ‘From the Hills Below the City.’ And with recent jems produced by Cobb like Jason Isbell’s ‘Southeaster’ and Strugill Simpson’s ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,’ we have been eagerly awaiting the results!!!

The new record isn’t due until early next year, but to hold us over, the band and Rough Trade Records have given us a first-taste of the new, yet-untitled LP via NPR’s All Songs Considered with the haunting, striped-down track ‘For No One.’

The single alone shows much growth from the previous record with its raw, bare-bones take… Add the new songs we heard when the band stopped by Chattanooga this Summer, and we are all in store for one hell of an album!

Stream ‘For No One’ below and read the full Ann Powers interview with Houndmouth frontman Matt Myers HERE.

Ranger: The Bard

October 1, 2013 0 comments

It’s been a while since we’ve last heard from Ranger, who just wrapped-up with their debut full-length at La La Land Recording in Louisville, KY — The studio now famous for Houndmouth‘s ‘From The Hills Below The City.’ This will be the New Albany, IN 4-piece’s follow-up to their 2012 released EP, ‘Heritage.’

The LP is called ‘The Bard,’ and as of this week, the band is generously given us a little taste from the new album. Not only letting us sample 2 key tracks, ‘Don’t Be So Green’ and ‘Hope I Help,’ but making them available for free download for a limited time! Thanks fellas!

So sit back and enjoy the tracks to what is sounding like a very promissing record. We have a hunch you’ll be hearing a lot more from Ranger in the near future! ‘The Bard’ drops everywhere November 12th, 2013:

And while you’re at it, stream/download the band’s 2012 released EP, ‘Heritage’ HERE or below:

Year of the: Houndmouth

May 28, 2013 0 comments

It’s not like everyday you become proud of a band and their success as the band’s music career develops, but damnit, we are so very proud of Houndmouth!

For the past year-and-a-half, we have slowly watched this New Albany, IN (Louisville, KY) 4-piece grow and it has been such an amazing trip so far… a trip that, in reality, is only just the beginning… and starting this June to be exact!

It feels like just yesterday when we helped bring Houndmouth down to Chattanooga for a special event that was hosted by Chattanooga Whiskey at Track 29 (see video here), and ever since, we have noticed nothing hard work and positive events coming from the Houndmouth camp including a record deal and to-kill-for gig opportunities… hell, these kids even have their very own beer!

With all that said, Houndmouth’s debut full-length record “From the Hills Below the City” drops next week (June 4th) via Rough Trade Records, followed by their network television debut June 5th on Conan! — And if that wasn’t enough, their full LP can be streamed via Conan’s Team Coco website HERE!!! How cool is that?

We love it when great talent is embraced, especially so early in a curreer… Stream the new record HERE, scroll down to catch their latest video (and the LP’s official first single) “On The Road,” as well as a few others and catch them HERE this Spring/Summer at a town near you!

Houndmouth: New Songs Live from Chattanooga!

August 1, 2012 0 comments

We LOVE us some Houndmouth, who instantly became one of our favorite bands just earlier this year. And we were more than excited when the band announced their signing to Rough Trade Records later last month… Via their new label, the band will be releasing a 4-song self-titled EP pressed on 12″ vinyl this month that will be followed later on by a full-length LP.

You may be familiar with the main songs on the upcoming EP by now from our January article, but while this 4-piece were in Chattanooga opening for Those Darlins at the Chattanooga Whiskey party held at Track 29 on June 2nd, we got a little taste of what possibly could be future LP songs! We are not 100% of what the final titles will be, but at the time of this article, the new songs are ‘On The Road’ and ‘Comin’ Around Again.’

So just sit back and enjoy these 2 new live tracks below!… and pre-order Houndmouth’s debut EP HERE which drops August 21st in the U.S:

 

If you’re not familiar with Houndmouth, get that way. Here are some already classic-to-our-ears tunes you need to know (and are featured on the new EP):
