Brooklyn’s Hotline TNT have announced Cartwheel, their first album for Third Man Records, which will be out November 3. Will Anderson played nearly everything on the record himself with help from producers/engineers Ian Teeple (Silicone Prairie) and Aron Kobayashi Rich (Momma).
Cartwheel includes “Protocol,” which was released earlier this summer, and the band have just shared “I Thought You’d Change,” another hazy blast of shoegazy indie rock. Says Anderson: “This song is about wanting a friendship to turn into something more, seeing it happen against all odds, wondering if it was the right thing to do, then wanting it to change back to a friendship or even a secret third style of attachment that I can’t identify or hold onto. This is the first time I’ve written a song that switches back and forth between two narrators, and I’m not sure which words are supposed to be mine and which are from my lover.”
You can watch the video for “I Thought You’d Change,” directed by Eric Rahill, below.
Hotline TNT have also announced fall tour dates, with East Coast shows in October with Third Man labelmates Sheer Mag, and West Coast shows in November which are supporting Quicksand. They’ll also play Hopscotch and Riot Fest this month. All dates are listed below.
