hey, nothing Announce Debut Album Hound, Share Poignant “Arteries”: Stream

Athens-based emo-folk duo hey, nothing have announced their debut album, Hound. Spanning 11 tracks, the LP is due out August 21st via Music Soup/Interscope Records.

A press release calls Hound the “proper introduction to everything hey, nothing have gone through and everything they want to become.” The duo – Tyler Mabry and Harlow Phillips – have spent much of the last six years together, touring and performing at major fests like Bonnaroo on the back of viral singles like “i haunt ur dreams.” But all that success left “little room to breathe, to process all the highs and lows of what each had seen.”

Rather than break up as they almost nearly did, hey, nothing instead used the recording for Hound to “rediscover their friendship and their love for making music. The end result, the pair added in a statement, is “the first time we wrote with a cohesive vision, with songs glued together to tell a whole story. It’s more us than anything we’ve released.”

Our first listen to Hound comes with the album closer “Arteries.” It’s said to be the song that best captures their growing pains, as the duo question their friendship and sense of accomplishments if they had actually broken up. Ultimately, though, “Arteries” is “the sound of emotions hey, nothing had rarely let themselves feel in the past: hope, resolve, resilience.” Watch the accompanying music video below.

Added hey, nothing, “The ‘Arteries’ music video represents our forever growing (and glowing) friendship and commitment towards one another. We wanted to visualize that we’d be strung together in every universe. Even if that universe is a generationally ambiguous fever dream with robbers and seizures and basketball.”

Pre-orders for Hound are available now.

In addition to “i haunt ur dreams,” hey, nothing have released a series of EP/similar projects: 2023’s We’re Starting To Look Like Each Other; 2024’s Maine; and 2025’s concept record 33°. They’ve also opened up for Cage The Elephant and performed at other big-name fests like Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Hinterland.
