American rock band Hotline TNT drop their third studio album Raspberry Moon tomorrow, June 20.
The 11-track project is expected to deliver a tone of gratitude, featuring open-hearted love songs to oneself, other people and situations, and celebrate being at peace both, within and with one’s surroundings.
The theme is also reflected in the way the body of work came together, as it is the first to be fully written and recorded by all the band members.
Since its establishment in 2018, frontman Will Anderson has been writing and recording all of the ensemble’s music. However, he revealed, in an interview, that the creating process for the new music has also included his bandmates: guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel and drummer Mike Ralston.
Will also stated that he never intended for Hotline TNT to be a ‘one-man band operation’, and that he believes it was an unfortunate matter of circumstance to have done so with the previous two records.
Released last month, the third single off the album titled Break Right is the first to be written and produced collaboratively with the rest of the group.
“Some songs hide their meanings behind a facade of metaphors, PR quotes and half-measures. Break Right hides nothing,” Will said.
“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,” he added.
