Hovvdy Announce ‘Billboard For My Feelings’ EP
Hovvdy, recently announced their new EP billboard for my feelings. The album includes songs that were mostly written during the sessions for their 2021 full-length True Love. To mark the occasion the band has shared a Boone Patrello-directed video for “Hide,” a track that Taylor calls “a lighthearted song about learning when to let your thoughts run wild and when to batten them up.” The EP was co-produced by the band and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver, Dijon). Billboard For My Feelings for my feelings also features the previously released singles “Everything” and “Town.”
The Texas duo, comprised of Charlie Martin and Will Taylor is currently on tour through mid-June. Their shows, have sold out in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Austin, London, Nashville and Toronto is not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now via hovvdy.com/tour. All dates below.
On billboard for my feelings, Charlie says: “I allowed myself to focus more on how everything feels, and a little less about telling a complex story. Both are super valuable – how a melody or texture makes you feel, versus how a super-emotional piece of songwriting impacts you.”
Will adds: “We got to have more fun; we got to cut back. I’m realizing there are many forms Hovvdy can return to, and this EP is a different form.”
The duo ensures their music stays rooted in Austin, tied by friends, Texas family and memory – perhaps the heaviest elemental through line in the band’s prolific catalogue. The track “Town” nostalgically tributes their early Austin days, indulging the extra-cushy weave, sturdy strum and propulsive swirl of Hovvdy’s trademark sound. With the rhythmic lilt of repeated lines “I’m doing so good / I’m doing my best,” it’s all too juicy for chant-along at a sweaty hometown show soon.
