Howling Bells have revealed that their new album shall be titled ‘The Loudest Engine’ and will be released on Cooking Vinyl on Sept 12th.
Coinciding with their release they will be touring selected venues of the UK at the end of the summer. It was on the road that Howling Bells were first linked with The Killers’ Mark Stoermer and after they toured together the bands bonded due to their love of similar music and this is when Howling Bells started to plan the recording of their latest project. Stoermer was the first person they called and they went on to record their new album in The Killers Battle Barn studio in Nevada.
The band commented on their new album:
“There’s a singular sound which is more folk and rock than our last two albums, but it’s interpreted in a modern sense. It wasn’t a conscious effort to make a ’70s tinged record. It was a very natural progression. The album shows that we’re we’re 21st century kids making a modern psychedelic record. [It] is our grown up record. The first was about that great initial leap, the second was us exploring different waters. This one is us, all having met at one place, at one time. I think this record will change people’s perspectives of the band.”
