Hotline TNT – “I Thought You’d Change”

Hotline TNT – “I Thought You’d Change”

In July, Brooklyn indie-shoegazers Hotline TNT, a project headed by Will Anderson, announced their signing to Jack White’s Third Man Records and released “Protocol.” Now, the band are announcing their first new album under Third Man, Cartwheel. It follows up 2021’s Nineteen In Love and was primarily recorded with producers Ian Teeple and Aron Kobayashi Rich. Today, Hotline TNT are sharing lead single “I Thought You’d Change,” which comes with a video directed by Eric Rahill.

Of “I Thought You’d Change,” Anderson says: “This song is about wanting a friendship to turn into something more, seeing it happen against all odds, wondering if it was the right thing to do, then wanting it to change back to a friendship or even a secret third style of attachment that I can’t identify or hold onto. This is the first time I’ve written a song that switches back and forth between two narrators, and I’m not sure which words are supposed to be mine and which are from my lover.”
