The sound that Hovvdy have become known for—lo-fi indie—is rarely associated with songs about mature themes like fatherhood and family trees, or even steady long-term relationships. Bedroom vocals are more synonymous with young adult chaos: unreciprocated love, the scary new reality of post-adolescence and desperately seeking identity. But the songs on Charlie Martin and Will Taylor’s sprawling new self-titled double-album turn to some heavier fare and pack as much of a punch as anything they’ve ever released, all while never sacrificing the earmarks of the experimental Hovvdy sound.

In fact, while teaming up again with producer Andrew Sarlo—also known for his work with Bon Iver and Big Thief—Hovvdy, once stalwarts of the Austin scene, take bigger sonic swings than ever before, and most of these swings connect. Throughout the album’s 19 songs, there’s plenty of the soft-spoken lo-fi they’re known for (“Big Blue,” “Heartstring”), but there’s also skippy, fuzzed-out country (“Bubba,” “Portrait”), loopy psych-pop (“Meant”) and catchy freak-folk that would’ve been right at home on an Animal Collective setlist in the late-aughts (“Bad News”).
