Houndmouth - Lordy

Houndmouth frontman, Matt Myers, whose band spent the previous decade blending rock & roll and American roots music into radio staples like the chart-topping "Sedona," struggled for two years to finish new songs.

The end of one relationship, the beginning of another, and the all-consuming feeling of new love left him unable to write - until a visit with Grammy- winning producer Brad Cook, who'd overseen Good For You, restarted his songwriting engines and led to the creation of Lordy.

For the making of Lordy , Matt enlisted a small circle of musicians including Iron & Wine's Sam Beam , MJ Lenderman , Phil Cook , and live touring keyboardist Caleb Hickman. "Everything sounds close, like you're having a close conversation rather than a surface-level conversation."

The result is Houndmouth's most intimate record yet, delivering an emotional punch that lingers long after the music fades.
