Houndmouth - Lordy

Matt Myers, the lead singer of Houndmouth, whose band had spent the previous decade blending rock & roll and American roots music to create hits like the platinum-certified, number-one charting "Sedona," struggled for two years to write new songs. The end of one relationship, the beginning of another, and the intensity of a new love prevented him from writing — until a meeting with Brad Cook, a Grammy Award-winning producer who had overseen the album "Good For You," reignited his inspiration and gave birth to "Lordy." For this album, Matt surrounded himself with a small group of musicians, including Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, MJ Lenderman, Phil Cook, and touring keyboardist Caleb Hickman. "Everything sounds intimate, like a deep and sincere conversation." The result is the most intimate Houndmouth album to date, a work of emotional intensity that resonates long after the music ends.
