HOWL is a vocal ensemble from the UK. Hailing from a range of diverse musical backgrounds from opera to folk and musical theatre, brought together through a love of complex, lush, haunting and often absurd vocal music. The group performs original compositions along with arrangements of folk songs and works by composers such as Meredith Monk, Moondog and Caroline Shaw, often weaving in their own soundscapes and field recordings to the live shows.
They recently released their second EP ‘Night Creatures’ on Cosmo Sheldrake’s Tardigrade Records, a collaboration with acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane, which they celebrated with two sold out shows at London’s Kings Place. This collection of original compositions explores the life of certain nocturnal animals – moths and glow worms, for example, among them.
