Howardian is back with a new video from last year's Together They Truly Trekked Them, released on Starcleaner Records, and Scene Point Blank is excited to host its premiere.
"The song 'Marmalade' questions masculinity and addresses fatherhood from a son's perspective," explains frontman Ian Vanek (formerly of Japanther). "In a way of speaking peacefully through conflict. Nurturing from a place of compromise while navigating hardship."
The video was shot by band members on their cellphones, inspired by the app BeReel and edited by Vanek in early January 2024. The fuzzy tones and distorted imagery are a perfect fit for the band's sound, which is rooted in punk melodies but run through a meatgrinder of additional influences from hip-hop to lo-fi garage rock. On the record, Vanek is joined by Patrick Foran, Schuyler Mahel, and Mustafa Daka in a collaboration that connects Olympia, New York, and Chicago.

The album officially released on Oct. 20 on digital formats along with a branded beach towel "to represent the physical media" for Together They Truly Trekked Them. It was engineered by Matt Vanek, Craig Bowen, and Tim Green.
