Howling Bells Announce New Album ‘Strange Life’

Australian indie rockers Howling Bells return after 12 years with Strange Life, out February 13, 2026, via Nude Records. Following their recent comeback single “Unbroken,” they share “Heavy Lifting” — a hazy, grunge-fueled anthem of resilience and confidence. Frontwoman Juanita Stein describes it as “a song about the thousands of miles you walk to earn that confidence.” Accompanied by a video directed by Orlando Cubitt, the track signals a triumphant new era. Still carrying their hypnotic mix of grit and romance, Howling Bells continue to blend the spirit of Tom Waits and Sonic Youth into their cinematic, emotive rock.
