Athens-born, Atlanta-based duo hey, nothing, Tyler Mabry (he/him) and Harlow Phillips (they/them), have released their major-label debut album, Hound, via Music Soup / Interscope Records. The band brings the record home to Georgia on October 30 at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, part of a five-week North American tour. Released August 21, Hound has earned praise from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR Music, Stereogum, Pigeons & Planes, Consequence, Brooklyn Vegan, and Alt Press, and includes the singles “Arteries,” “Boat Garage,” “Long Time Leaver,” and “Drywall.” The record wades through complex emotions with sharp wit, cheeky humor, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Mabry and Phillips met as middle school classmates, and playing music together became an anchor as both weathered difficult upbringings and worked out their own identities. Their third single, “i haunt ur dreams,” went from a teenage joke to a breakout hit, pulling in three million views overnight while they were still in high school. That moment led to an opening slot for Cage The Elephant, sold-out headline runs, and festival sets at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Hinterland. Along the way, they built a catalog of 2023’s We’re Starting To Look Like Each Other, 2024’s Maine EP (written in a small cabin in Maine), and 2025’s concept EP 33°, which tells the story of a young boy and his untimely death.
After years of near-constant touring and living together between tours, the duo reached a breaking point, taking several months apart to live independently before reconvening to make Hound with co-producer and bassist Tommy Trautwein. Where their earlier work often leaned on grief and hurt, Hound looks back at family and growing up too fast with more gratitude. “We’re now talking about being thankful for how they’ve improved. It’s more a happy reflection than being so sad all the time,” Phillips says. “We made it through those first few fever dream years of touring and releasing music,” adds Mabry. “Now we’re asking: What now? Who are we?”
