Hovvdy will release a new album, Big World , on August 14th via Arts & Crafts . The follow-up to the Austin duo’s 2024 self-titled LP follows their relocation to Nashville and reflects or more tune-oriented songwriting ethos, Charlie Martin said in a press release. “The last record felt like such a generous offering: a double-album, deeply personal, you can literally hear me crying on some songs. With this one, we wanted to take on the challenge of making something more concise and to the point, and give the fans something that feels like a shorter but more exciting ride.” Hear it for yourself below, in the DIY video for the single “Try Try Try,” shot live by director Michael Rees with a few beers in a home rehearsal setup.

Martin and bandmate Will Taylor have also plotted a tour behind the record, on the heels of their summer dates supporting Bleachers and Wilco . Find the itinerary below. Longtime collaborator Ben Littlejohn produced the new LP, working with the band between Nashville and Asheville.
