Houndmouth Coming to Soul Kitchen

Alternative hit maker Houndmouth from Louisville, Kentucky (and Indiana), is coming to rock the Soul Kitchen, Tuesday April 29th! Doors will open at 7 PM, show will start at 8, and tickets on sale now at 10 AM at www.soulkitchenmobile.com .  They performed at the SXSW music festival in March 2012 to promote their homemade self-titled EP. Geoff Travis, and the head of Rough Trade was in the audience and offered them contract shortly after.[4] In 2012, the band was named “Band Of The Week” by The Guardian, and shortly afterwards the band dropped “Sedona” their first single on Houndmouth‘s second studio album Little Neon Limelight that put them on the mainstream map.

On their latest album Good For You, Houndmouth shares a collection of songs set in places as far-flung as the Alamo and the Hudson River, each populated by a motley cast of characters: fairy-tale princesses and vampires, parking-lot lovers and wanna-be beauty queens. The result is a lovingly gathered catalogue of those wild and fleeting moments that stay lodged in our hearts forever, taking on a dreamlike resonance as years go by.

Produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Hiss Golden Messenger) and mixed by Jon Ashley (The War on Drugs, B.J. Barham), Good For You came to life at Houndmouth’s longtime headquarters, a 19th-century shotgun-style house decked out in gold wallpaper and crystal chandeliers. Over the course of a year spent holed up at the so-called Green House, Houndmouth slowly shaped the warm and unhurried sound of Good For You. “Except for the first EP we’d never recorded in our own space before,” says lead singer and guitarist Matt Myers. “It was perfect because we all felt so comfortable, and there were no time constraints on anything.” For Houndmouth, the making of Good For You allowed for a major leap forward in their songwriting and sound while recalling the pure abandon of the band’s early days. “I remember the first time I ever came to the Green House and saw what was happening here and I thought, ‘I’m never leaving this place,’” says Myers. “This album felt like being back in that time again, only now everything’s a little more dialed-back and cared-for. It was like a return to the way we fell in love with playing music.
