Texan duo Hovvdy have today dropped their latest track, ‘I’m Sorry’. It’s built on a meticulously crafted beat (its percussion-forward sounds has its roots in the pair’s past life as drummers of two different bands) that encircles Will Taylor’s echoing lead vocal melodies. Distant keyboard melodies are intertwined to form ambient sounds that are both atmospheric and warming. They explain that the tune is about “the mixed emotions when a relationship has to change or end. Grief and relief. We were excited to pull the guitars back to let the vocals and ambient textures shine. The clank and swing of the programmed drums create a resonance and energy that brings it all together.” With their third album having dropped last year, Hovvdy are showing no signs of slowing down. - Dan Peeke
