Houndmouth

From The Hills Below The City

Houndmouth is comprised of four musicians from New Albany, IN, across the river from Louisville - Matt Myers (guitar/vocals), Katie Toupin (keyboard/vocals), Zak Appleby (bass/vocals) and Shane Cody (drums/vocals). The group spent the past year building a passionate following in their hometown Louisville and touring with the Alabama Shakes, the Lumineers, the Drive-By Truckers and more. "Houndmouth is a great young band,” testifies Patterson Hood of the Truckers. "They 'brought it' each and every night. They were extremely popular with our fanbase and our band. I look forward to hearing what they do next."

The 12 original songs on 'From The Hills Below the City' 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.
