Named after Allen Ginsberg's seminal poem Howl, the quartet features long-time collaborators Dan Smith (alto saxophone), Harry Brunt (tenor saxophone), Pete Komor (double bass) and Matt Parkinson (drums).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tracks on Night Song reflect Howl Quartet's narrative range, with each composition offering a personal or poetic point of departure. The title track, 'Night Song', captures the shifting emotional landscape of new parenthood, drawing on quiet intensity and tenderness. 'Falling Man' is a moving tribute to Brunt's great uncle, an RAF pilot who died in a plane crash shortly after the Second World War, while 'Renjo' channels the drama and exposure of a high-altitude journey through the Himalayas. 'Smallhope', dedicated to a much-loved family home, unfolds slowly with warmth and nostalgia. 'Embers' reflects on the quiet, transformative energy of a fire's dying glow. 'Oku' is a journey inward, drawing on the Japanese idea of inner space, 'Tolls' offers a sombre reflection on consequence and choice and 'Gwdihw' is a lively tribute to the much-missed Cardiff venue where the group's early musical friendships began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach member of Howl Quartet brings their own musical voice to the group, but it is the strength of their long-standing connection, musically and personally, that defines the band's sound. With its balance of lyricism and exploration, Night Song is both a natural progression and a bold new chapter for the quartet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56314074694015,"sku":"HQLP03","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/2c335f97-ef16-47dc-9d5b-18d1921edd47_83af21ff-499b-4a29-bb94-c8861647b56a.jpg?v=1778262946","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/howl-quartet-night-songs-vinyl-lp-due-out-21-11-25","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
