LIST PICK
HOTLINE TNT CANDLE
Hotline TNT unveil swirling new single 'Candle'. The track is the second offering from the New York City band's upcoming album Raspberry Moon, and it was the first song written for the album. Frontman Will Anderson has explained, "...it flowed out of our guitars quite effortlessly and it barely required even 1% of our power to put the parts in the correct order." The proof of the band's natural ability to construct powered arrangements with ease is in the free-flowing rhythm of blustery electric guitar melodies; fuzz-laden, but hardly weighed down. Anderson's vocals break up the instrumental barrier with a droning ease as he dives headfirst into a loving declaration. Baring heart over head, the line 'They don't hold a candle to you' is spoken without hesitation, softly striking a deep emotional note. 'Candle' is a sweet spot for Hotline TNT, highlighting their effortless synergy and ability to capture a unique vibrance against a thick, hazy sound. It points to a bright next step. Raspberry Moon is due on June 20th via Third Man Records. -Dan Peeke
