OUTLYA find a remedy for homesickness on monumental pop jam "Howl"
OUTLYA, the clandestine purveyors of star-spangled pop glory, have lit the taper on another verified banger.
"Howl" is the kinda of belter that begs a big crowd - it's a fist-pumping, to-the-rafters singalong that practically buckles under the amount of earworms on offer, and yeah, it's a bit OTT, but isn't all the best pop?
"'Howl' is a song about communication in the modern age," say OUTLYA. "The feeling of euphoria when you hear a loved one's voice down a distorted phone line and the transportive effect it can have on you from miles away. We ended up demoing the song four or five times, and the final version is an amalgamation of all of them... as a band we always try and combine the natural sounds of live instruments... with synthetic sounds seeping in, which in this song works especially well as a metaphor for human interaction through technology."
Dan Grech-Marguerat (The Vaccines, Radiohead) is on production duties.
