New York’s Hotline TNT, led by Will Anderson, today shares “Break Right,” the latest single from their anticipated album, ‘Raspberry Moon’, arriving June 20th via Third Man Records.
Following the acclaimed “Candle” and “Julia’s War,” “Break Right” is a pivotal track on ‘Raspberry Moon,’ the band’s most expansive album to date. It marks their first collaborative effort as a full band, with guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel, and drummer Mike Ralston crafting the initial instrumentation. The result is a moody, lunging track where guitars are pulled taut against motorik drums, underpinned by Anderson’s brooding vocals singing, “Capsize // The organ rides // Moonlight // The guitar hides // If you could suffer my bad night // The music died.”
Of the track, Will states,
Some songs hide their meanings behind a facade of metaphors, PR quotes and half-measures. ‘Break Right’ hides nothing. This is the sound of TNT becoming a band. Every effect has been unplugged, every sample has been deprogrammed, and every emotion has been laid bare. You’ve never heard a Hotline song quite like this before.
Recorded at Amos Pitsch’s studio, ‘Raspberry Moon’ signifies Hotline TNT’s evolution into a true band, delivering their most nuanced and texturally rich album. While exploring familiar regrets, the 11 tracks are largely defined by a sense of newness and possibility, pushing forward and embracing fresh connections despite past hardships. It’s music for looking ahead.
Hotline TNT are currently on a North American tour supporting Hippo Campus. Later this summer, they’ll embark on their own US headline tour, including a special rooftop record release show in NYC on June 21st. Following these dates, the band will head to the UK and EU for a full headline tour.
