Hovvdy have released new single “You Will Go Far” the track is off their forthcoming album Big World, available August 14th via Arts & Crafts. The song is accompanied by a video directed by Michael Rees, and follows previous singles “Try Try Try” and “Blast.” Hovvdy will be hitting the road this fall in support of Big World across North America in October and November, with Emma Ogier and Christian Lee Hutson as support. Before then, they will be supporting Wilco this summer.

Since 2024’s Hovvdy, both Martin and Taylor have become published songwriters in their new home of Nashville – a career development that heavily informed their approach to making Big World. “The last record felt like such a generous offering: a double-album, deeply personal, you can literally hear me crying on some songs,” says Martin. “With this one, we wanted to take on the challenge of making something more concise and to the point, and give the fans something that feels like a shorter but more exciting ride.”

Big World was recorded over a handful of recording sessions between Nashville and Asheville in fall 2025, Martin and Taylor adopted a recording approach that was new for them as a band: coming to the sessions only with instrumentals rather than fully-drafted demos, choosing to write and respond to the songs in real time. “When it comes to the music, there’s literally never questions between Charlie and me, only answers,” says Taylor. “We can always show up and not have to worry about the music, and that continues to amaze me.” They viewed this as a fun, new challenge for them and, with the backing of their longtime collaborator Ben Littlejohn who serves as producer on Big World, felt less pressured and more empowered to make a record that was more sonically immediate, but emotionally ambiguous.
