Hotline TNT have announced their third album, Raspberry Moon. The follow-up to 2023’s Cartwheel is out June 20th via Third Man Records, and they’ve shared lead single “Julia’s War” as an early preview. Watch the accompanying Full Metal Jacket-esque music video below, which features cameos from They Are Gutting A Body of Water, NYC comedian Dan Licata, and more.
Raspberry Moon mark’s Hotline TNT’s first album as a four-piece and was produced with Tenement’s Amos Pitsch. Frontman Will Anderson created his previous two records as Hotline TNT with just one producer, and this time his touring band (guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel, and drummer Mike Ralston) joined in on the fun.
“Julia’s War” takes its title from TAGABOW’s record label, and is complete with a succinct chorus of “na na nas” not too unlike a sing-a-long at your local pub. “In a world of half-hearted hooks, and buried-in-the-mix vocals, we had to muster the courage to do what the rest of the shoe gaze community could not… We looked out to the stadium and reassured the audience: Our voices, together, will be heard,” Anderson said in press materials.

He continued: “You’ve never heard a TNT chorus this straightforward — when we stress-tested it during the writing process, the “try not to sing along challenge’ came back with a 100% fail rate.”
Hotline TNT will also head out on a North American tour starting May 1st, playing mostly opening slots for Hippo Campus. Select headline shows will take place in St. Louis, Buffalo, plus, Slow Pulp will join the band at a special Milwaukee stint (get tickets here).
