Austin, TX duo Hovvdy (Charlie Martin and Will Taylor) release a new album, simply titled Hovvdy, on April 26 via Arts & Crafts. Now they've shared another new song from it, “Meant.” They've also announced some new UK and EU tour dates. Listen below and the dates follow.
Taylor said of the new song in a press release: “'Meant' reflects how the most impressive love one can give is consistency. especially when life is complicated or derailed. It's a song of gratitude for receiving this kind of love.”
“It's full circle, because a lot of my songs, in adulthood, are about looking back and seeing your parents as just people struggling through life – and trying to be more empathetic or understanding. And now Will is diving in from the opposite side as a new parent, struggling with all of that,” Martin says of the new album.
“On this album, we really tried to step back and look at, 'How can we convey our songwriting in a new way?' says Taylor. “It challenged the songs we brought and it challenged me to be more vulnerable.”
“We're trying to expand and create a tapestry of everything we can do,” adds Martin.
The band co-produced the album with Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief) and Bennett Littlejohn (bassist, multi-instrumentalist).
The album features three previously released singles: “Jean”, “Bubba” and “Portrait”. When the album was announced, they shared another new song from it, “Forever,” via a music video. “Forever” was one of the songs of the week.
In 2022 Hovvdy released a new EP, billboard for my feelings, through the Grand Jury. The band's latest album, True lovewas one of our top 100 albums of 2021 and was also produced by Sarlo.
