Sophomore LPs aren’t supposed to sound this effortless and confident, but that’s precisely the way that Indiana-based rockers Houndmouth sound on their follow-up to 2013’s wildly popular From the Hills Below the City. This isn’t just a band rolling over the successes of their debut, but rather an ensemble harnessing and expanding their sound with supreme confidence. Along with tracks that recall the slick, foot-stomping, roots rock created on their debut (“Sedona,” “Honey Slider”), the quartet experiments with a rawer, garage-rock sound (“15 Years,” “By God”) brimming with the honesty and energy of their live performance. Thematically, honesty is all over this record—almost in a defiant manner—as guitarist Matt Myers exclaims on the delicate “For No One,” “Sing a song for you, but I sing for no one.”
