Yesterday saw the release of Howl, the debut full length album from Bre McDaniel.

Produced entirely by female identifying collaborators, Howl was recorded both in studio and outdoors! Bre says "I don't actually remember what first sparked the idea to have field recordings as part of the production HOWL. In some ways it just seemed like an obvious and fun thing to try because all of these nature metaphors and imagery were coming through in the writing. I love nature and I liked the idea of foraging sounds from this environment and would love to explore that more - looping sounds you encounter in normal life into a beat, or collecting very intentional textures of ambient noise. There is waterfall white noise from Lynn Canyon layered in some songs, murmuration flocks of birds sounding like the ocean in others, dying embers of a fire that me and a few close friends are silently gathered around - all these very personal impressions are embedded in the songs. Also I love hearing that in other people's music, when people sample organic sounds for beats, etc, there’s just something more alive about it."

Check out the video for the title track below, and be sure to head to the Railway Club on November 7th for her album release show!
