Description
The Best Of The Howling Hex is a new album of new music by a new incarnation of The Howling Hex, now broadcasting as a band from the big town of Denver, Colorado. After years staked out in the border country of southern New Mexico, guitarist and leader Neil Hagerty is back in the phonebook, giving the Hex an urban soapbox on which to stand for the first time in their ten years of rere-revisionist history.
The Best Of The Howling Hex is the first album of new music since the release of Wilson Semiconductors in 2011.
The Best Of The Howling Hex weaves the wild spirits and far-flung textures of Wilson Semiconductors into tightly compressed sing-songs, before turning the jam out to bring the levee home. Hagertys guitar tone is an alien wonder, and the careening beat of the band unleashes him to fill solo spots with fervour.
After five years of wandering through the arid brushcountry of Earth Junk and Wilson Semiconductors (as well as the sidetrack soundtrack adventure that was Victory Chimp, A Book), the days of the covered wagon seem to be behind The Howling Hex for the time being. However, the depth of the earth and the true direction of the wind are lessons learned from their years out there they cant be unlearned.
The Howling Hex are now operating out of Denver, CO, and feature Eric Allen (of The Apples In Stereo) on bass guitar.
