$30 ($27.50 adv.). Note: This show has moved from 12/12 to 1/23.

media release: Houndmouth — vocalist/guitarist Matthew Myers, drummer/vocalist Shane Cody, and bassist/vocalist Zak Appleby — release their new album Good For You on Dualtone Records. Recorded with Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Hiss Golden Messenger) and mixed by Jon Ashley (The War On Drugs, B.J. Barham), Good For You finds Houndmouth reckoning with both the blurry highs and hard-earned lessons of young adulthood as it passes by in the rearview mirror. In a 4-star review, MOJO calls it “an escapist tonic” that is “highly attuned to nuances of mood and scene setting,” while No Depression commends the “beautiful ache” that reverberates through Myers’ songwriting.

Brought to life in Houndmouth’s longtime headquarters — The Green House, a 19th-century shotgun-style residence decked out in gold wallpaper and crystal chandeliers that used to belong to Cody’s grandparents — Good For You emanates with a sense of bittersweet nostalgia. Songs veer from Silver Jews-style vignettes (“Good For You”) to boozy shout-alongs (“Make It To Midnight”) as Matt Myers artfully paints portraits of down-and-out characters and drunken romantics with a magical realist’s touch.
