Watch ‘Slowburn’

Recorded at London’s Assault and Battery Studios with producers Catherine J Marks and Alan Moulder, ‘Heartstrings’ is Howling Bells’ fourth album, and the first they have recorded in their adopted hometown of London.

Taking a different approach to the making of their previous records, Howling Bells made the recording of Heartstrings an intense process, laying down a track a day for 11 days, resulting in a potent collection of songs. “Having a deadline means you’re forced to make crucial artistic decisions in a very short time. You don’t have the luxury of overthinking. I feel this process shaped the album. As a result, you become incredibly connected to the musical spirit of the band.” says frontwoman Juanita Stein. “We loved every second of it”.
