Hotline TNT, the project of Brooklyn-based musician Will Anderson, today announces their new album and Third Man Records debut, Cartwheel, and shares new single ‘I Thought You’d Change‘.
With Cartwheel, Anderson made the leap, as he’s often done in love and life and music, and ended up making one of the year’s most sweeping and affirming statements. Cartwheel is an endlessly romantic testament to reaching for something that slips forever out of grasp.
‘I Thought You’d Change’ turns up the tempo and turns the tables, allowing two jilted lovers to offer their bemused but bummed takes on what happened between them. ‘I Thought You’d Change’ is presented alongside a video directed by Eric Rahill. Anderson shares the following about the track:
“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.”
