Howlin’ Rain: The Russian Wilds

Date
02/14/2012

Oakland, California-based psych-rock band Howlin’ Rain (a self-described as a mix of “watermelon rock, psychedelic, heavy jams, mellow jams, ethereal dung, sci-fsxploitation, bong rock and liquor store soul”) will release their fifth album The Russian Wilds on February 14, 2012. 

“Crafted over a period of four years with extensive guidance from [Rick] Rubin, the San Francisco quintet’s latest full-length has all the tropes of a record-as-game-changer– it’s moody and duende-soaked, meticulously crafted, and sprawling in its ambition.” —Pitchfork
