Hovvdy have shared news of their upcoming EP “billboard for my feelings”, “Everything” is Hovvdy’s first new material of 2022, following their “True Love” album that landed in October last year.
Will Taylor says of the new outing, “Everything” is a song about having fun even when you miss the mark.”
“Town” is the duo’s second outing of 2022, following last month’s “Everything”, and allowed Charlie Martin to “break out of a relatively dark place.”https://youtu.be/BFuIDZEqZ50
Martin adds of the track, which was co-produced by Hovvdy and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver, Dijon), “There was catharsis in almost every layer – I remember crying recording the mellotron flutes. I’m not sure why, but with “Town” I wanted the instrumental to do the heavy lifting, leaning less on storytelling. In that way, the song’s meaning isn’t terribly specific, but for me it’s about missing your friends and hoping they miss you.”
“Hide” is the third track to be lifted from the duo’s forthcoming EP, following “Town” and “Everything”, and is accompanied by a Boone Patrello-directed video.
Hovvdy’s Will Taylor says the new song, which is co-produced and mixed by Will Taylor, is “a lighthearted song about learning when to let your thoughts run wild and when to batten them up.” “billboard for my feelings” will follow Hovvdy’s 2021 album “True Love”, and will feature one other new song titled “Ruby”.
Charlie Martin says of the EP, “I allowed myself to focus more on how everything feels, and a little less about telling a complex story. Both are super valuable how a melody or texture makes you feel, versus how a super-emotional piece of impacts you.”
Taylor adds, “We got to have more fun; we got to cut back. I’m realising there are many forms Hovvdy can return to, and this EP is a different form.”
“Hide” is out now. Hovvdy’s “billboard for my feelings” EP will follow on Grand Jury. released May 27th, 2022
