Welcome to my Hermit Kingdom. At the beginning of the global pandemic I began writing and recording new songs. During the process I had to deal with multiple health setbacks that for a time left me unsure of my future ability to play guitar. The insecurity of the situation made clear to me that I should document the skills and instruments I've collected over the years. During lock down, collaborative efforts were not an option, so I decided to create an album completely on my own. I wrote, played, recorded, and produced every bit of this album, even down to the artwork. The artwork features the instruments used on the recordings. Many are gifts from family and friends who have passed before. I thank you for the opportunity to share their sounds with you.

Welcome to my Hermit Kingdom. At the beginning of the global pandemic I began writing and recording new songs. During the process I had to deal with multiple health setbacks that for a time left me unsure of my future ability to play guitar.

It's Eric Howell's 'Hermit Kingdom' and we're just living in it

During the COVID-19 shut-down, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Eric Howell began writing and recording his latest album, Hermit Kingdom. He sat down with KSMU's Jess Balisle to talk about the recording process and what it's been like getting back to normal life.

Omnia Improvisus Ad Infinitum - Everything Unexpectedly to Infinity

The album was recorded and produced in my home studio from 2017 through 2018. The album features several guest performances recorded when each of the artists respective bands were in town playing shows. To their credit, I had very little direction to give anyone beyond "do your thing". Most everything on the album stems from some level of improvisation. Building around the unique contributions from each artist. The guest tracks gave the album a sound I never would have found on my own.

All songs written, performed, and produced by Eric Howell at Third Room Studio. Mastering & technical support by Brody Wellman Additional technical support by Adam Howell Album art and design by Eric Howell Album back cover photograph by Hillary Woodside Walker Howell

I can never say thank you enough to express my appreciation to my family for their support. Especially my patient wife for enduring and encouraging me in the pursuit of my dreams. Thank you to my amazing friends. Especially those of you who were kind enough to lend your immense talents to my efforts. And thank you for listening.

Written, performed, and recorded by Eric Howell at Third Room Studio Adam Howell-drums and additional percussion on tracks 3,5, & 7 David Smith-additional percussion on track 8

These songs were written and recorded from 2005 through 2009. My brother (Adam Howell) and I had been writing songs and recording them for a few years when we formed the band Honky Suckle with David Smith playing bass. These songs were recorded leading up to forming the band, so a few of the tracks ended up on Honky Suckle's album Derelict.
