Hovvdy announce new LP ‘Big World’ & tour, share “Try Try Try”

Will Taylor and Charlie Martin have announced their sixth full-length album as Hovvdy. Big World, the follow-up to their 2024 self-titled, is due out August 14 via Arts & Crafts. It was produced by Ben Littlejohn, and Martin says, “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.”

“When it comes to the music, there’s literally never questions between Charlie and me, only answers,” Taylor adds. “We can always show up and not have to worry about the music, and that continues to amaze me.”

They’ve shared the first single, “Try Try Try,” and you can watch the Michael Rees-directed video, and see the Big World cover art and tracklist below.

Hovvdy will be supporting Bleachers and Wilco on tour, and they’ve also announced new headlining shows, including NYC’s Webster Hall on November 4. Tickets to all new dates go on sale Friday, May 14 at 10 AM local, with various presales starting Thursday, May 14 at 10 AM local, and you can see all dates below.
