No News From Home is the 2nd LP from Portland, Oregon quartet Houndstooth and the follow-up to Ride Out The Dark. That record was labeled "one of 2013's all too overlooked delights" by SPIN while their hometown Portland Mercury called it "an extraordinarily good album, a perfect representation of the band's trademark balancing of ease and passion." News is an altogether more mature record that widens the bands sound: from Velvets-style churners to shimmering, breezy, love songs, all penned by songwriting duo John Gnorski and Katie Bernstein.

Superb album. Strongly recommended if you like anything in the vein of The Velvet Underground, Luna, Cowboy Junkies, etc. This will definitely come in near the top of my 2015 albums of the year. Take it for a spin.

songs with a sweet, melody-driven, rootsy garage-pop sensibility
2nd album from Portland, Oregon band who play songs with a sweet, melody-driven, rootsy garage-pop sensibility. The up-front guitar twang and Katie Bernstein’s disarming vocals drive the hooks right through your heart and down to your dancing feet. This is back-country indie pop that flows like a stream through a wooded serenity, an Americana dream-wave spilling from smoky barroom doors. Houndstooth deliver simple songs that call your name without pretense and occasionally rock out because somebody turned the amp up and the band gets excited. Some similarities to Heartless Bastards, The Knitters, The Growlers, The Jayhawks.
