The track is the latest taste of the duo’s long-awaited upcoming album Heavy
A track that is steeped in personal struggle while continuing to showcase their stylish and vibrant brand of alternative rock that puts an emphasis on atmospheric textures and slick, guitar-driven melodies, The Howlers‘ latest single ‘Cold Sweat’ continues to find the band at their immersive and cool best.
The track centres around the repeated health scares that frontman Adam Young has suffered with and the frustration that comes with getting no closer to the cause over time. The challenges that this has seen him face and the anxiety and fracturing of relationships makes for a really emotionally charged story and one that feels sure to resonate with listeners, and this depth and level of substance when paired with their usual effortless sense of style makes for a compelling and multi-faceted listening experience that is full of appeal throughout.
“Almost every day since I wake up with a dull headache,” says Young. “It got to the point where I had to make peace with the pain and begin rebuilding my life. The song takes on the narrative of this struggle and my relationships within it.”
