Album details announced, Shows announced, First single on iTunes
January 28, 2009

13 Clouds/Fontana North is thrilled to announce details for the release of Howie Beck's forthcoming album. How To Fall Down In Public, Howie’s fourth album and first in 4 years, is set for official release throughout Canada on February 24, 2009. The album features guests Sarah Harmer, Feist and Gonzales. Recorded and produced by Howie Beck with the help of the effervescent Gonzales (Feist/Jane Birkin) on a number of tracks, How To Fall Down In Public marks not so much a departure from his previous albums but an infectious look outwards at the world.

The result is a fresh, invigorating trek through a soundscape that is both familiar but yet entirely new; a sound that Howie describes as being more musically spontaneous: "Part of the intentional challenge of this album was to take myself out of my usual comfort zone." Elloborates Beck, "The process was a departure for me, as I tried my best to avoid any claustrophobic recording environment; very much the opposite to the way I've made my own albums in the past."

In anticipation of the album, the first single "Don't Put Your Arms Around Me No More" is available now on iTunes Canada.

Howie is excited to share the new material live with his new band and he anticipates further announcement of dates shortly. Until then, Montreal and Toronto area fans can look forward to the following shows just announced. Tickets are available now!

New Press ~ Feb.-Mar. 09

Howie Beck: He can make it on his own

"How to Fall Down in Public, Beck's fourth solo record, may sound like Elvis Costello playing the Beach Boys, but that's because Beck insisted on moving the music from the darkness and into the light."

— Ben Kaplan, February 24, 2009

Howie Beck is no longer hollow

"[How to Fall Down in Public] sounds as sumptuous and pillowy as the expensive '70's soft-rock records he venerates for their pristine melding of finicky technical prowess and easy, airtight songwriting.'"
