,: Charlie Martin and Will Taylor met at a baseball game while on :,
: tour drumming for different bands. 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 ':

: 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 ':
