This lead single lampoons the ritualistic depravity of the 9 - 5 commute, in typical elegant & polished SA style. [...]
Howth has undergone a transformation. No longer the bedroom folk duo of their early years, the Brooklyn quintet is slowly revealing their new identity as a sonically adventurous band. The inspired songwriting and...
für manche dinge lasse ich mich gern mißbrauchen. zum beispiel, um für howth den multiplikator zu spielen. die band um carl creighton arbeitet gerade an einem neuen album und ist sich nicht zu schade, ihre anhängerschaft bereits in dieser frühen phase teilhaben zu lassen. an einem song, an einem neuen foto, auch ein außertourliches t-shirt wird es geben. infos hat auch die bandpage parat. viel spaß! superfreak by howth
When we spoke with Frida Sundemo a few weeks ago, she worried for the internet's brainwashing capabilities – of the reality that, in fact, so-called tastemakers can often so heavily influence opinion, that we are left unsure as to what we could and shouldn't like – let alone what we actually do or don't. And I often worry of the internet's endlessness – an abiding infinity pumping out more music in a day than we could fully appreciate in an aeon. How do artists therefore accrue any meaningful attention, and how do they ensure that their [...]
So via Facebook I'm reminded that it is in fact winter and that most of the country has a condemning hatred for it... it's currently 76 in Austin. Regardless of the temperature, I find this time of year once again bringing on those same low feelings that persuade the type of music I get into [...]
ein bewährtes problem. ich habe nicht buch geführt über jene songs, die mir über das jahr hinweg am herzen liegen. aus der erinnerung heraus kann ich einigen nachjagen, anderen nicht. doch es werden immer genügend sein, um sie Euch vorzustellen. es werden immer einige dabei sein, die mehr als nur anrühren, die zu wegbegleitern werden über eine lange zeit. nachfolgend zehn davon, den schönsten allerdings an erster stelle: josephine foster - o stars all [...]

Howth - "Secret Goldmine" Howth, all rich with horns and moral victories offered the outlines of a clandestine financial reserve on glittering single, "Secret Goldmine".

Covers on Wednesday! Okay, let's make this quick, I don't have time to blog today - the new iPhone is announced this morning and I have to hit up a live stream from some tech blog. No really, I probably will be. Really. Well, to keep it musically focused/folkused how about some Dolly Parton and The Greatful Dead covers? Done. Fort Frances have been doing a fantastic job with their "As Told By..." series and we have a new chapter with the track Ripple originally by The Greatful Dead. I [...]
Like some kind of critical exercise, or perhaps only for the aesthetic nuances, Howth took their music to three different spaces, from the studio to ' Blake's place' to the stage, to expose through the recording of their latest EP Secret Goldmine the differences in textures, effects and ambiances that occur from one environment to the next. A heartfelt declaration may seem somewhat sterile when compared to the intimacy of a home recording, the sound of the live will lose in depth as it bounces further away, etc. Every track finds its own strength. Having [...]
Howth, the clever five-piece from Brooklyn/Jersey/Minnesota/Oreg on have released their first EP, Secret Goldmine, for no discernable reason. It carries two original tracks which are polar opposites in how well (or not well) they sit with the rest of the band’s repertoire, with a third track being nothing more than a live version of a track from their last album. [...]
Ever since the collapse of the mercantilist economic systems of the late 18th-century, most intellectuals accepted the notion of national success in the marketplace was tied to more than accumulation of precious metals. Sitting on a pile of gold, or anything else for that matter, bucked the rules of supply and demand that governed post-Enlightenment economies. It took nearly two centuries but Nixon took the United States off the gold standard in the 1970s with almost no fanfare. Now, the only fixation with gold arises from the far right wing, uber- Atlas Shrugged demagogues. But these are matters of [...]
Howth just put a free 3 track EP in support of their upcoming US tour (which starts today in Brooklyn). So go grab the EP and if you’re in one of the cities they’re coming too, go check them out.
6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. I have the ability to mold nearly any song to fit what I need it to. It's part of my survival mode; a soundtrack makes even [...]

[Photos by acidjack] After catching our friends Howth at Cameo Gallery back in March, we were pleased to join them again to celebrate the release of their record, Newkirk at Mercury Lounge . This headlining set gave the band time to explore additional songs from Newkirk , and their tightness and timing were even better than just a couple of months ago. The set's three additions from the record, "Deep In My Heart", "Grand Marais" and "Keep Me Away From the Mirror" each showed another dimension of the band. I [...]
