EP PREMIERE: Howlite – ‘Not Here’

Electronic trip-pop trio Howlite have come a long way since their inception back in 2016, as evident by bold new EP Not Here.

Premiere today via The Music, its five tracks build on the group’s ethereal, indie foundations.

"Not Here is the first EP we created together, as a band, working with a small team of friends to bring it to life,” vocalist Alison Thom told The Music.

“As we’ve said previously, we worked really hard to develop a sonic palette that would help create a little family of songs. It was a huge experience to develop ideas, be vulnerable and open to new concepts, and create something entirely new and exciting for us.

“The EP marks the start of a new chapter, it’s a catharsis of a lot of emotions and ideas and now it’s alive and in the world.”

Howlite’s Ben Botting added: "It definitely feels as though we’re moving in a new direction with this EP in terms of soundscape, but also in terms of vision.

“We had a really strong mindset of what we wanted to create heading into the studio, but we were equally mindful of giving the process of recording and producing the time and space it needed to evolve. We’re pretty excited to now be sharing the full EP release with everyone.”

Not Here is officially out tomorrow.
