New York-based alternative rock outfit Hotline TNT invites listeners on a fresh sonic journey with their third studio album, Raspberry Moon, set for release on June 20, 2025. After making waves with their previous record Cartwheel, the band returns with a full lineup in the studio for the first time. Under the direction of Will Anderson, and with contributions from guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel, and drummer Mike Ralston, the album captures the raw energy of true collaboration.
“Julia’s War” – A Melody Within the Noise
The lead single “Julia’s War” showcases a quintessential shoegaze aesthetic — hazy guitar tones wrapped around crisp, emotive vocals. Anderson’s voice cuts through the distortion with clarity, crafting a soundscape that feels both immersive and electric. It’s a track that doesn’t just ask to be heard — it demands to be felt.
Album Structure & Production
Raspberry Moon marks the band’s first full-band studio effort, recorded under the guidance of producer Amos Pitsch. The album is grounded in live instrumentation and dynamic arrangements, lending a sense of immediacy and cohesion. Standout tracks like “Candle,” “Break Right,” and “Dance the Night Away” underline the album’s balance between heaviness and heart.
Release Details
The album will be released via Third Man Records on June 20, 2025, and will be available in standard black vinyl, limited-edition colored vinyl, CD, and cassette formats. The first 100 pre-orders will receive a special “cassingle” featuring the demo version of “Julia’s War” — a collector’s gem that captures the song’s early, unfiltered essence.
Raspberry Moon is more than an album — it’s a statement. A band once known for lo-fi charm steps into hi-fi clarity without sacrificing their emotional grit.
