***Following the release of their triumphant breakthrough album Cartwheel, which gained widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork (8.4/10 Best New Music) and Stereogum (Top 10 Albums of 2023 - “riveting, restless shoegaze packed with massive hooks”), NYC’s Hotline TNT are back with their best album yet, Raspberry Moon. The record marks what many are calling 'The Next Phase in New American Shoegaze'.Hotline TNT have toured relentlessly, including US-wide tours with Wednesday and Snail Mail, enduring seemingly endless lineup shifts to become a linchpin of several interconnecting DIY scenes. Whilst Cartwheel was largely conceived by frontman Will Anderson (previously of cult indie group Weed), Raspberry Moon is very much a full-band effort, which is evident in the album’s all-consuming, rip-roaring sound. For fans of Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr. and My Bloody Valentine.

***Hotline TNT—the project of Brooklyn-based musician Will Anderson—releases their hugely anticipated new album and Third Man Records debut. After touring relentlessly, enduring seemingly endless lineup shifts, Hotline TNT have become a linchpin of several interconnecting DIY scenes. Their audience has steadily ballooned, with their debut album Nineteen in Love becoming a coveted LP. Its follow-up is a beautiful, radical, and engrossing record about trying to find what most of us have not yet attained: fulfillment. Anderson plays and sings nearly every note on Cartwheel himself. He recorded the bulk of these songs during two very different sessions: one with prolific art-pop-punk auteur Ian Teeple (Silicone Prairie), who pushed him to keep working on every idea, and one with bicoastal engineer Aron Kobayashi Rich (Momma), who encouraged him to get ideas down and keep moving forward. But Cartwheel itself is seamless, with notions of bedroom studio largesse and punk simplicity perfectly coiled inside Anderson’s catastrophic visions of true love.
