Today,Howardare thrilled to share,“Oh Dear Brother,”the newest single from their forthcoming albumTogetherAlone, outSeptember14thonFashionPeople. “The song started more personally and gradually became more about the political state of affairs when things were coming to a climax around the election,” says guitarist/vocalistHowardFeibusch. “It is about our growing inability to listen to each other and the sense of turmoil that happens when our dialogue becomes a screaming match. It is not a topic I’m entirely comfortable writing about because I fear that it’s just polluting the atmosphere with more noise on a topic too many people have an opinion about.”
TogetherAlonefollows Howard’s debut album, 2015’sReligion, and it’s companion EP,PleaseRecycle. It’s the first album from 30-year-old multifaceted bandleader Howard Feibusch’s project to be recorded with the full band — composed of Feibusch (guitar, vocals),AlexChakour(guitar, synth, backup vocals),MylesHeffernan(bass), andChrisHoldridge(drums) — that so capably toured behind Religion. It’s also an aching, restless, and altogether lovely document of the paradoxical sensation in which we feel more isolated than ever in the face of increasing togetherness and connectivity—a modern sentiment wrapped in music that’s timeless in its timbre.
