The album is the culmination of a year filled with change and challenges for the Philadelphia based quartet including the addition of two new band members (Todd Ehrlich/bass and Mike Reilly/drums) and parting ways with their former label, among others .

Leading the creative process independently has been a liberating experience for the band. “We self-produced alongside engineer John Lowe who was a truly great sounding board for us,” says songwriter, lead singer Sean Hoots. “Our recording sessions allowed us the time to focus, and the freedom to explore and come up with exactly what each song needed. We’ve been performing several of these songs for over a year now, and had a pretty good read on what needed to happen in the studio by the

time we finally got there. I write songs with a very good idea of how things should sound front to back. We always add a few details here and there, but for the most part, it’s final before we even record,” he adds.

The album’s ten tracks include many new instruments and sonic textures-- bringing electric guitar swells, piano, organ, choir vocals into the mix, along with the band’s signature banjo, drums, vibraphone, mandolin and acoustic guitar trills.

“Salt” was produced entirely with support from Hoots & Hellmouth’s fans via a Kickstarter fundraising campaign that was “way more successful than we ever dreamed,” says Sean. The album will be at retails beginning in October.

Hoots & Hellmouth is Sean Hoots, Rob Berliner, Todd Ehrlich, Mike Reilly.
