Though they come from quite opposite ends of the spectrum, there’s a tangible sense of understanding and appreciation between Howling’s two members, singer/producer/cult artist <a href="spotify:artist:2KjAo6wVc9d2WcxdxSArpV" data-name="RY X">RY X</a> and producer/live electronic artist/label owner <a href="spotify:artist:1gbnoyNZEf6K9HytIv1D94" data-name="Frank Wiedemann">Frank Wiedemann</a>. The former hails from a background of folk-pop songs that revolve around freeness, nature and simplicity; the latter remains a king in the underground as 1/2 of <a href="spotify:artist:5muFO8VqYRCRW13EkvX564" data-name="Âme">Âme</a>, with layered productions that build around a tight 4/4 structure. One had a wild bohemian upbringing in remote Australia; the other grew up in Karlsruhe, a forward-thinking hub of science and technology in Southwest Germany.

Despite being from different worlds in every sense, <a href="spotify:artist:2KjAo6wVc9d2WcxdxSArpV" data-name="RY X">RY X</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1gbnoyNZEf6K9HytIv1D94" data-name="Frank Wiedemann">Frank Wiedemann</a>'s musical influences are remarkably aligned (ranging from <a href="spotify:artist:6olE6TJLqED3rqDCT0FyPh" data-name="Nirvana">Nirvana</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:1aVONoJ0EM97BB26etc1vo" data-name="Steve Reich">Steve Reich</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:4uE9TgBW0AaPDHL1qYbtd0" data-name="Ravi Shankar">Ravi Shankar</a> to classic soul) – and, so are their creative mindsets. Both artists’ backgrounds meld together to create productions that transcend categorization: subtle yet deeply moving songs that glisten with divine instrumentation and percussion.
