Bio
Howlite craft elemental, cinematic dreamscapes, marrying trip-hop with pop songwriting to create a sound that is entirely their own.
Rolling Stone Australia describes their sound as “brooding, borderline folk, but inches-from-pop” with Mushroom Group likening it to “controlled sadness beautified into a cluster of sublime sound” and Triple J stating “that London Grammar appeal is there but this carves out its own beautiful, dramatic sound with great results”.
Their dreamy soundscape is brought to life by Alison Thom, who soars above dark and brooding musical foundations, her beguiling vocals captivating in the same vein as Daughter, London Grammar and Portishead. With strong trip-hop elements, and pockets of pop song writing, there is a sense of confidence and focus within the groups latest releases.
Howlite are set to release their latest EP 'Not Here' on Friday 16 October.

Damn, that voice. It'll either cut stone or turn you t̲o̲ stone, I reckon.

Sounds to me like Howlite has upped the focus lately - this song's all about releasing the serotonin payload with some crisp production and swelling vocals.

as usual howlite dial up the drama and take you for a big ride, letting you get lost in the many layers.
