Nashville indie pop partnership surge forwards…
13 · 05 · 2026
Nashville group Hovvdy will release their new album ‘Big World’ on August 14th.
The band hinges on the partnership of Will Taylor and Charlie Martin, close friends and ridiculously talented songwriters.
2024’s self-titled double album saw fans truly spoiled with their musical riches, a release that became a benchmark for the group.
Since then the pair have become published songwriters in Nashville, but the lure of Hovvdy still holds them in place. New album ‘Big World’ is out on August 14th via Arts & Crafts, built alongside producer and longtime collaborator Ben Littlejohn.
“The last record felt like such a generous offering: a double-album, deeply personal, you can literally hear me crying on some songs,” says Martin. “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.”
New single ‘Try Try Try’ is a neat encapsulation of their charms – wicked indie pop melodies, beautifully clipped guitar lines, and a heavenly chorus that stays lodged in your brain for days.
