Hi! Good question. Thanks.
The music of Hovvdy seems to have an indirect but definite continuity with the music Lou Barlow recorded in the 1990s. Specifically, the link is more one to Sebadoh than to Folk Implosion or to Lou’s solo efforts. There are also shades of Archers of Loaf which I think I sometimes hear in vocal lines. That’s it’s basic pedigree, I think, but it’s also a kind of evolved, modern interpretation of lo-fi/noise rock, and that will probably seem more apparent to you some songs than on others. Hovvdy: Taster (2016) is probably a good place to start. I think the first half of that record is absolutely great.
