with Damion
A self-titled statement piece, Hovvdy’s fifth album fits with the comfortable confidence of faded blue jeans. Underlining years of hyper-reflective, deeply-fan-beloved songwriting, the 19-track sequence draws together swirling piano lines and vivid production under the cohesive vision of longtime friends Charlie Martin and Will Taylor. Hovvdy boldly broadens the scope of the Texas duo’s songwriting in a new partnership with Toronto-based outlet Arts & Crafts. The expansive double album presents a true co-production between Hovvdy and their frequent collaborators, Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief) and Bennett Littlejohn (bassist, multi-instrumentalist). An unprecedented focus on live takes further peels the band’s early slowcore layers to show dazzling dynamic range, from the country feel of “Portrait” to the bombastic drums of “Meant.” Never staying still too long, Hovvdy easily folds introspection into their big, fearless choruses. Always guided with a gentle hand, the listener lands right there in the room, to witness the spontaneous synchronicity of Charlie and Will’s shared songcraft.
Damion, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and studio engineer based in Bloomington, IN, returns with "I'm Gonna Lose Control," a cinematic and captivating follow-up to his 2022 debut, "Special Interest." Drawing inspiration from legends like Wings, Laura Nyro, and Harry Nilsson, Damion blends addictive melodies with alluring lyrics, creating a listening experience that is both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly new. Akin to watching a long-forgotten cult film, "I'm Gonna Lose Control" stirs up faint memories of a time you never lived through - of a world that never quite existed, until now.
