Introducing: Houndmouth

After a SXSW that resulted in national coverage on NBC Rock Center, Fuse News, and Rolling Stone, a US tour with Alabama Shakes as well as three sold-out headline London shows earlier this year, Houndmouth released their much-anticipated debut album, From the Hills Below the City, via Rough Trade.

The albums twelve songs are packed with tales of down-on-their-luck drug runners, casinos, riverboats, recession-era scraping, and more. All members of Houndmouth sing, “leading with individual character and harmonizing in saloon-choir empathy,” writes Rolling Stone’s David Fricke, and their songs have a loose-limbed swing, anchored by a sturdy rhythm and a cagey melodic sensibility.

Now Houndmouth are set to embark on a string of UK dates in September 2013, including Birmingham’s Hare & Hounds on Sun 8th.
