New Soltero "best of" collection now available, free download on Bandcamp. It includes songs from the first 6 albums, plus a Creedence cover. Enjoy, share it with your friends, play it in the shower!
Our newest and finest album is nearly complete, and will be released summer 2013. Very excited about this one.
Our first two records are out of print, but can be downloaded on Bandcamp. If you'd like to order a CD of 1943, You're No Dream, Tongues You Have Tied, or Hell Train, please email tim[name of the band]@gmail.com. I ask for $10, check or PayPal, which includes shipping. Each additional album is $8, unless I don't have any more copies, in which case I won't charge you anything.
1943 (2012)
"The Brooklyn group just released their new album, 1943, and it’s full of some ridiculously good songs that I can’t stop playing over and over. For me, my first hook was the similarities to the delivery and the writing style of D. Berman of Silver Jews, but there’s a bit more of a mellow jangle going on in these tunes. This song starts off slow for a few seconds, but just wait until it delivers the subtle hooks that made me fall in love with this new album." - Austin Town Hall
"Soltero enquille ainsi les petites merveilles, séduisantes en mode engourdi (Teen Angel) comme en mode plus rythmé (les mini-tubes Mercenary Heart et Alegria). Tim Howard et son comparse Alex Drum signent avec 1943 un album de chevet en puissance, moitié madeleine, moitié cure de jouvence." - Magic (France)
You're No Dream (2008)
"The album dances between two places—waking life and sleep—in a way that doesn't feel completely comfortable in either state. It is a dark and stunningly subtle record..." - Treble
Hell Train (2005)
"Aural treats abound: Pet-Sounding thump-ta-thump and plaintive harmonies, keening Neil Youngian piano ballads, mellow Malkmus guitar swoon, and baritone bons mots that would leave Stephin Merritt tongue-tied." - Boston Phoenix
The Tongues You Have Tied (2004)
"Songs that possess the mortal weight of old folk ballads, but are delivered with the regal melodies and vocal style of Ray Davies." - Popmatters
Defrocked and Kicking the Habit (2003)
"Howard shows himself to be a fantastic songwriter, the type that gives heart to all other songwriters out there despairing that every song has already been written." - Portland Phoenix
Science Will Figure You Out (2001)
"Absolutely stunning...Sure, anyone can write about unrequited love, but how many can really make you care about their pain?" - Northeast Performer
