Houndmouth

Houndmouth is an American alternative country band hailing from New Albany, Indiana, which has become known for its electrifying mix of folk, rock, and blues. Formed in 2011, the band initially comprised vocalist/guitarist Matt Myers, bassist/vocalist Zak Appleby, and keyboardist/vocalist Katie Toupin, with drummer Shane Cody completing the lineup. Their music, characterized by its rich harmonies and rootsy, narrative-driven songwriting, first captured widespread attention with their 2013 debut album "From the Hills Below the City," released under the notable indie label, Rough Trade Records. The release laid a sturdy foundation for their distinctly melodic and earnest Americana sound.

Shortly thereafter, with their sophomore effort, "Little Neon Limelight" in 2015, Houndmouth solidified their place in the hearts of alternative country aficionados with hits like "Sedona," earning them a larger audience and critical acclaim. The group's sound continued to evolve, as showcased through subsequent releases such as the dynamic "Golden Age" in 2018, and the reflective singles "California Voodoo" and "California Voodoo, Pt. II". Their signature energetic style and storytelling are on full display in their 2021 album, "Good For You," signaling both a maturation of their sound and a commitment to the raw, heartfelt narratives that have always anchored their music. Houndmouth's seamless blend of Americana influences with modern sensibilities makes them a continued presence on the music scene, engaging loyal fans and attracting new listeners with each release.
