Earlier this year, Hotline TNT signed to Third Man Records and shared the song “Protocol.” They announced the album Cartwheel last month to follow their spellbinding 2021 debut Nineteen In Love and unveiled “I Thought You’d Change.” Both tracks made Stereogum’s 5 Best Songs Of The Week. Now, they’re back with the clamorous “Out Of Town” as well as 2024 tour dates.

“These days most people wouldn’t have the foolishness to start a song by singing the words ‘baby girl’ but I wanted to channel my Minnesotan roots and try it out, Paul Westerberg style,” bandleader Will Anderson said in a statement about the track. “Matter of fact I think his influence is all over this tune, we had to betray the Bob Mould guidance one of these days and see how the other half lives. This one’s about losing someone you’re excited about before you even realized you had strong feelings about ‘em.”

The song was previewed through a PC “Kaxtyn” game on Anderson’s assnup.com; also, whoever achieves the highest score wins a test pressing of the LP.
