1 day ago7 min read

R. E.M. bassist Mike Mills has teamed up with music titans Darius Rucker of Hootie & the Blowfish and Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes to form the new supergroup, Howl Owl Howl.The band's debut single, a sophisticated rock track, intriguingly takes a pop star's signature fragrance as its central theme, using the concept of a scent with a 'familiar name' as a lyrical springboard to explore celebrity, memory, and desire. This convergence of Mills' iconic jangle-pop, Rucker's soulful Americana vocals, and Gorman's foundational rock groove marks a significant and deliberate entry into the modern music scene.The formation of Howl Owl Howl exemplifies a growing movement where legacy artists, free from the expectations of their primary bands, find renewed creative energy in collaborative, focused projects. The single promises a sound that is both timeless and fresh, grounded by Gorman's rhythmic drive and elevated by the interplay of Mills' melodic bass and Rucker's authoritative baritone. More than just a collaboration, the group's first release is a confident statement, signaling that these revered musicians are crafting a compelling new chapter together, built on a shared foundation of masterful songcraft.
