Hotline TNT announce new album, share “Julia’s War”

Hotline TNT have announced new album Raspberry Moon which will be out June 20 via Third Man. Where the two previous albums were basically just Will Anderson, this one was made with the current lineup of the band.

The first single from the album is the hooky “Julia’s War” which is loaded with a earworm “Nah nah nah” chorus. (The title is a reference to They Are Gutting A Body of Water’s label.) Says Anderson, “In a world of half-hearted hooks, and buried-in-the-mix vocals, we had to muster the courage to do what the rest of the shoegaze community could not… We looked out to the stadium and reassured the audience: Our voices, together, will be heard. You’ve never heard a TNT chorus this straightforward – when we stress-tested it during the writing process, the ‘try not to sing along challenge’ came back with a 100% fail rate.” Watch the video below.

Hotline TNT will be on tour this spring, including dates with Hippo Campus and Slow Pulp. Those are listed below.
