Over these last few years, Louisa Roach's She Drew The Gun project has been seen as one of the more inventive doing the rounds right now. Creating this heady mix of indie-rock aesthetics with a progressive electronic edge, her tenure to date has been filled with broad and immersive offerings that always look to build upon what has come before. And after yet more buzz and acclaim for her recent outings, she returns once again with her eagerly-awaited fourth studio album 'Howl', a record that continues that inventive streak of hers.

Right from the off, 'Howl' looks to project itself as one of her more enigmatic releases yet. Creating these smooth yet electrifying grooves across all of its ten-tracks, her latest endeavour finds her in this brilliantly adventurous guise as she looks to deliver some truly alluring gems throughout. Leaning a little further towards the electronic elements on this one, She Drew The Gun returns to the fold with some of her more forward-thinking material to date here.

Moving with this rich and passionate aura from start to finish, 'Howl' is another confident addition to her already captivating repertoire to date. Brimming with this explorative approach to production at every turn, she has capped off her 2024 with gusto and aplomb here.
