Austin duo Hovvdy tease their first album with blissed out scuzz number "Meg".
Taking a laid back nostalgia and powering it through layers of fuzz and distortion, Hovvdy's sound is hazy at best. In that shimmering focus, the band find ehoing pools of enchantment. Sun schorched guitars chime through layered effects without a care or a cause but their own.
The second track to be shared off the duo's first album Taster (following "Problem"), "Meg" is slacker pop at it's most charming.
Taster is released via Sports Day Records on 15 April.
