HOWL BABY HOWL are back baby!

The Copenhagen based rock duo is the musical meeting of Jeppe Brix (guitars and vocals) and Silas Tinglef (drums and vocals). The duo started out in 2008 with the blues-infused debut album ‘THERE’S NO TEAM IN FUCK YOU’, followed up two years later by ‘NOW THE WORLD BELONGS TO US’, an album that elevated the compositions and arrangements, expanding them into a more experimental sound.

No strangers to cult success having had their early hits featured on adverts for Victoria’s Secret, Adidas, Toys’r’Us and several TV shows including Netflix’ ‘Pretty Little Liars’, Howl Baby Howl took a sizeable 10 year break, after 2013’s acclaimed trilogy of EPs, to explore new dimensions; scoring films, producing albums, and touring the world with artists such as The Raveonettes, Trentemøller, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, and Kira Skov.

Howl Baby Howl are thankfully together again in their purest form – and the brotherhood famous for their fuzz guitars, whirling drums, and raw, catchy tunes are back with sensational new album ‘HEAVY ON THE TONGUE’.

Continuing in the vein of their EP trilogy, the duo remains true to their immense riffs, melodies, and immediate sense of psychedelic garage rock.

Their new album, ‘HEAVY ON THE TONGUE’, contains 10 explosively catchy songs reflecting on the times we live in, the disillusionment of humankind, and the need to stay optimistic. The album was recorded and produced by Howl Baby Howl and mixed by Greg Saunier of Deerhoof and mastered by Brian Batz from Sleep Party People. Touring begins with Danish rockers The Sandmen with more live shows and some major remixes from Anders Trentemøller and TOM and his Computer to follow as 2023 gets further underway.

Watch this space as Howl Baby Howl get ‘Heavy On The Tongue’ on Midnight Confessions on 20th April.

Highly acclaimed and much-loved singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and South London native Jessica Wilde kicks of her 2024 by joining forces with the incredible Josh Barry for a soulful Valentine’s Day release ‘Love Like This’, out 14^th February.

Packed with soaring emotions and infused with smoky orchestral atmospheres, ‘Love Like This’ is a striking nu-soul gem which will be released on Wilde’s forthcoming album and follows her recent singles ‘Freak Out’ and ‘Feathers’ ft. Zoe Kypri. The two 2023 singles saw her pick up many spins on BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1 Introducing with Jess Iszatt, John Kennedy’s X-Posure Daily on Radio X, playlist support across the board from Spotify, Apple, Youtube and Tidal amongst other acclaim. Josh Barry has also been picking up serious heat, recently featuring with Rudimental and Sigma, collaborating with Nile Rogers and opening for Rag ‘N’ Bone Man on tour. Josh Barry brings a dynamic force to the collab as he embodies the spirit of legendary icons like James Brown and Jimi Hendrix.

On ‘Love Like This’, Wilde explains, “When we got in the studio, the song basically wrote itself, we wanted to capture that raw soulful essence in our husky tones, and a nostalgic feeling of those classic Marvin Gaye love songs but with a 2024 flip.”

As the dreamy, smooth track escalates, Wilde and Barry’s yearning vocals entwine with epic effect as the pair find the ‘Love Like This’ that they have been searching and waiting for. The release comes with a Valentine’s launch show at the iconic ‘The Bedford’ and a 6-part Instagram & TikTok reel series, released every other day from 16^th February, which everyone should tune into to see Wilde and Barry explore the track’s steamy and romantic themes in more depth through nostalgic aesthetics.

2024 looks set to be an exciting new year for Wilde. With her album on the horizon, she has been gaining growing support from not only BBC Radio 1 but also 6 Music, BBC Radio London, KISS, editorial playlist support across DSPs, as well as features in CLASH, Complex, Wonderland, The Independent and many more.
