Back home in Austin, the two : :' Texas natives discovered both held batches of compatible songs, ': ,: intended for solo projects. They merged as Hovvdy instead. :, : : :' Penned separately, the duo's first-ever songwriting efforts ': ,: coalesce seamlessly on debut LP Taster . To this day, Charlie :, : and Will create like satellites on the same orbit, combining : :' bedroom recordings into a singular worn-in sound. Their ': ,: downtempo rock found an audience in the Austin and New Orleans :, : scenes, elevated by support from small indie Sports Day Records. : :' ': ,: Brooklyn label Double Double Whammy re-released Taster in 2017, :, : followed by Cranberry in 2018. The sophomore work solidified the : :' group's sturdy guitar strums and rhythmic instincts, enveloped ': ,: in nostalgic glow. Third LP Heavy Lifter finds new dimensions in :, : the Hovvdy soundscape. : :' ': ,: For Heavy Lifter , the duo worked with producer, engineer, and :, : multi-instrumentalist Ben Littlejohn. Throughout fall 2018, the : :' team built out the album in makeshift home studios around ': ,: Texas. Both singers' voices cut through more decisively than :, : ever, carried by vivid storytelling and production : :' eccentricities. ': ,: :, : Familiar fuzz maintains the warmth of past work, but Heavy : :' Lifter is never muffled. Clear-cut characters and scenes emerge ': ,: in the 13 tracks. Antsy love song "1999" wanders around a small :, : town, while bright pop piece "Mr. Lee" retells a lonely day in : :' reverent detail. Lo-fi Daniel Johnston moment ': ,: "TellmeI'masinger" empathetically enters an artistic :, : perspective, unwound lyrically as: "Tell me I'm a singer." : :' ': ,: Memories inform present decision-making throughout the album. :, : Two tracks dive into family legacies, "Pixie" admitting "outside : :' my mind/ is where i'm gonna be/ not what i had hoped at 14." ': ,: "Sudbury" recounts childhood major league dreams: "front yard :, : catch, you got a plan/ to be a baseball star/ texas ranger : :' shortstop." ': ,: :, : Breaking from the confines of guitar-based slowcore, pop and : :' hip-hop influences expand Hovvdy's established framework. ': ,: Propulsive, straightforward hooks usher in autotuned tweaks, :, : chugging beats and genre exploration. By pulling apart slightly, : :' Charlie and Will step into new spaces on Heavy Lifter . Always ': ,: in sync, it's a balanced effort. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
