Hotline TNT

They released their third album today and forgot witch thread thay are in. I think they need their own thread anyways. Looking forward to hearing this shoegaze album.

I listened to half of this on my walk to dinner. I was expecting more shoegaze and seemed pop rock...

Thought 'Julia's War' was too pub rock for this band, but in context, after two tracks of sketchlike songs, it works beautifully. Really like the push-pull between pop and noise/abstraction on this. Could be more, though.

The movement is growing:

This album did nothing for me unlike the last one.

yeah the chatter about the new one was on the new shoegaze band thread.

i was completely underwhelmed by this record. after a fee listens i can’t remember a single moment that stood out. deleted it from my library ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone ever listen to their early EP's? I'm listening to a compilation of, I believe, their first three, called Trilogy. Might be projecting this, but I think I hear the energy of a band that's realizing they might have hit on something for the first time. Blissed-out noise pop that reminds me a little bit of Polvo but less herky-jerky.
