Yesterday, NPR Music premiered Houndmouth's new song "For No One," the first preview of their new Rough Trade album set for release next year. Ann Powers praised the spare, emotionally vivid track, which features Houndmouth vocalist Matt Myers on acoustic guitar and solo vocals, calling it an "epic ballad, stuffed full of vivid imagery, unspooling a mysterious story with references to Kon Tiki, shrapnel, and taking acid."

This morning on Louisville's WFPK, the band announced a special in-store performance at Guestroom Records (5:30pm today) - right across the river from their hometown of New Albany, IN. A limited number of wristbands will be available at the store between 12pm - 4:30pm. Houndmouth also announced that they'll be throwing a special show at a secret location in Louisville on Nov 15, doubling as Do502's official launch party.

Since the release of their "near perfect" (NPR Music) debut 'From The Hills Below The City' (Rough Trade), the band has performed on Letterman, Conan, CBS This Morning, and shared the stage with the Alabama Shakes, The Head and The Heart, Drive-By Truckers (recently playing the Ryman in Nashville), among others. They also performed at several major music festivals this year including Newport Folk Festival, Sasquatch, and Way Over Yonder.
