Howrah ‘Self_Serving Strategies’ LP

Description

HOWRAH was founded in 2016 by Cees van Appeldoorn, former front man of Zoppo, together with drummer Ineke Duivenvoorde and bass player Aico Turba, the late rhythm section of Space Siren. On their 2018 debut album ‘Self_Serving Strategies’, HOWRAH elaborated on the menacing sounds of these bands. Their immersive songs are shaped by wiry and flexible guitar melodies, built on groovy rhythmic groundwork into a streamlined whole.
