Oakland-based psychedelic rockers Howlin Rain has announced a new live album series, Under The Wheels, which will include multi-track live recordings from the band’s live shows. The series’ debut installment, Under the Wheels: Live From The Coasts (Volume 1), is set to arrive on August 30th via Howlin Rain founding member Ethan Miller’s Silver Current Records.

Under the Wheels: Live From The Coasts (Volume 1) encompasses the band’s personal favorite live cuts from nationwide performances in 2018 and 2019. The second installment of the series, Live From The Coasts (Volume 2), is set for release in fall 2019. Under the Wheels: Live From The Coasts (Volume 1) will include a 10 minute-plus instrumental rendition of “To the Wind”, “Death Prayer in Heaven’s Orchard” off of the band’s debut album, the rarely performed “Goodbye Ruby”, and ‘”Missouri”, and “Coming Down” off of the band’s 2018 The Alligator Bride release.

Howlin Rain’s Ethan Miller shared his thoughts on the new project via press release. He explained,

No matter how accomplished a studio album a band makes there is still something even more elevated and relatable about a live performance captured well. The audience and musicians engaged in an ecstatic, emotional dance together, the sound of light-speed group creativity under heavy pressure, feats of improvised melody and feel beyond expectation and of course the raw edges, rough corners and deeply human sound of artists completely exposed in the high temp firing and fusing of their hopes, risks, vulnerabilities and ultimately triumphs of imperfection and musical joyrides beyond conscious imagination. That’s my favorite place for Howlin Rain to be and my intention with the live series is to open a spigot between the fans and these captured live adventures and to leave it open as an ongoing conversation about our spiritual dance together.
