Hovvdy announce their fifth album, Hovvdy, out April 26th on Arts & Crafts. The self-titled, 19 track double album is a statement piece that finds Charlie Martin and Will Taylor at the height of their powers, broadening the scope of their songwriting and adding new wrinkles to their sound, creating something wholly unique and exhilarating. The collection centers Hovvdy’s creative maturation in a true co-production between the band, Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief), and Bennett Littlejohn (bassist, multi-instrumentalist).
Alongside the album announcement, the band shares the soaring “Forever,” which is accompanied by a music video starring comedians Veronika Slowikowska and Kyle Chase, directed by Michael Rees.
Hovvdy’s exploratory catalog has earned them status as a quiet favorite of rising stars – seen last year as Zach Bryan expressed admiration for Hovvdy’s album True Love, indie supergroup boygenius listed it as an inspiration for their record, and beabadoobee named Hovvdy as one of her favorite artists.
Additionally, the band announces new UK and EU spring tour dates. Their tour supporting Cold War Kids kicks off tomorrow in San Francisco. All dates below.
