Hovvdy make gentle and idyllic pop, the kind of tune you hear slipping out of an open window across a quiet cul-de-sac. It’s no coincidence that their latest music videos, released ahead of their second album, have been set in the suburbs, while the songs themselves are all hushed, heartfelt feeling, wandering through memories. The same is true of Cranberry’s title track.
Charlie Martin tells Noisey that “Cranberry,” released today, is about the desire to become a “better listener and, more generally, being willing to make changes in yourself to be a better person, friend, partner.” He notes that the duo’s new songs are more optimistic than the ones on their 2016 debut Taster, adding that he and Will Taylor “are both pretty hopeful people, I think.”
