The Minneapolis band Bad Bad Hats has announced a new self-titled album (their fourth overall), which will be out next month, and today they’re sharing its lead single “TPA.”

“This song began with a guitar line I wrote, which I referred to as ‘the sauce,'” the band’s Kerry Alexander shared. “‘The sauce’ sat languishing in my voice memos until we heard “Wake Up” by XTC and knew my guitar line could fit perfectly in an intertwining guitar part.” Alexander continued:

From there, we ran to buy bongos from the Music Go Round down the street and, before long, we had our sideways, dance-y track, “TPA”. Lyrically, I was inspired by the summer my family moved to Tampa, FL. I was in between my freshman and sophomore years of high school, very surly, very sweaty, and very self-conscious amidst the tan, glamorous, and bikini-clad locals.
