    Little Neon Limelight is an album that includes some of the most consistently catchy and clever lyrics, hooks and licks in modern rock/country. The opening track Sedona and its sister track For No One are both tender with an underlying maturity and bitterness. Tracks like 15 Years and By God are absolute rollercoasters.

Highlights include Sedona, For No One, 15 Years, Black Gold, My Cousin Greg, Gasoline, By God, and Say It.… Expand

    Houndmouth resurrect a blistering, off-its-hinges breed of Americana complete with tangible wild heart and soul.

    Houndmouth have the right touch and impressive chops, but this album makes it clear they needs a songwriter who can make their music seem fresh even as it's modeled on the past.
