Lightning Baltimore Listening now and bumming that there was no physical release. 🙁 Great, as expected! Can't believe I've been following Neil's career since the summer of 1983!

apt2324 Neil promised a more accessible listen with this new LP, and he delivers though there's plenty of weirdness too. Might win over some new fans to the underrated HH project, while keeping fans of his post-Trux work satisfied. New lineup of the band this time around, Kristine's vocals are great and reminiscent of Eleanor Whitmore from their "Earth Junk" LP. I do miss Eric Leuven's unique drumming and rhythms, but that style was probably perfected on "Denver", and this LP is a solid new direction Favorite track: City In The Country.

antoine_ri Un des meilleurs disques de Neil Hagerty. Il respire la joie de faire du rock'n'roll ! Du niveau de Royal Trux, et de loin le meilleur Howling Hex. Favorite track: Words.

about

Recorded over eight days in Hagerty’s home of Denver, the album finds him teamed up with a brand new musical squad. The second most prominent voice and guitar featured comes from Nicole Lawrence, who has recently been seen onstage with Mary Timony and King Tuff. Thanks to a meaty mix by veteran producer Clay Jones (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello), it’s as slick as the Howling Hex has ever sounded without losing any of their off-kilter scorch.
