Adam Hattaway & The Haunters Release New Track & VideoTwo Roads + Release Pre-orders For Upcoming Album Hot Variety
Press Release – Adam Hattaway and The Haunters Adam Hattaway has covered a lot of ground. From the indie noise of his debut album, to the lo-fi, country, soul of his double LP Rooster, and the dark, stripped-back ballads of last year's High Horse. The forthcoming album, Hot Variety, brings all these elements together. Recorded to tape, Hot Variety is a fully analog affair. Hattaway reunites with his band The Haunters, but with an entirely different arrangements are stripped back, the sound is dry and unadorned, the playing is looser and captures the immediacy of the moment. Today, Adam Hattaway and The Haunters release the second single from the upcoming album: Two Roads. One of the darker tracks on the record, it was partially written in Adam's sleep and takes inspiration from the haunting true story behind Heavenly Creatures. Hattaway's acoustic guitar is played with aggressive abandon paired with ghostly layers of Hammond organ and bowed guitar. The track evokes the unsettling feeling of being stuck at a crossroads – right on the edge of something. The accompanying music video by Max Liautaud and Gina Johns, features the band performing live in the studio, interspersed with striking birds eye footage of co-writers Adam and Elmore sprinting along gravel roads towards one another. Hot Variety is out September 5th on all digital platforms, with a very limited vinyl release (100 copies) via Leather Jacket Records. Pre-orders are available now.

Adam Hattaway & The Haunters Release New Single + Stop Motion Video Ted Danson
Ted Danson seems like a nice guy — but this track isn't about him. Adam Hattaway returns with The Haunters to release the first single from their upcoming album Hot Variety. Ted Danson is three minutes of rock 'n' roll lost at the disco. It all started when a big ol' organ — one that took up half the car — was hauled into the hills of Ōtiake, just to use its built-in drum machine. That beat lays the foundation for a swampy Fender Rhodes bubbling beneath busted guitars, pounding congas, signature Haunters fuzz, and, inexplicably, a vacuum cleaner — all captured on glorious 2' 16-track tape. The release is accompanied by a meticulously chaotic and slightly disturbing stop -motion video by Maya Templer and Jack O'Connell (Rough On Rats) starring a surreal lineup of Bob Dylan, Richard Nixon and yep… Ted Danson. Hot Variety is out September 5th on all streaming platforms and a very limited release of 100 vinyl via Leather Jacket Records.

Adam Hattaway & The Haunters Release New Single + Video 'Tommy Sees Ghosts'
Just months since the release of their Marlon Williams produced album High Horse, Christchurch's own Adam Hattaway & The Haunters are back with a new single and video, " Tommy Sees Ghosts," accompanied by b-side " Roadside Incident." Recorded to 2' 16-track tape in an old wool-shed deep in the south of Aotearoa, Tommy Sees Ghosts features a haunting and hypnotic groove reminiscent of the band's earlier music, with one foot in the '70s Stones disco ditch, and a refined focus on vocals akin to their recent album. The band rolls along in a late-night, inebriated haze, threatening to go off the rails at all times but sticking together like glue. Inspired by true ghost stories, Adam delves into the tale of Tommy who lives close to the wind, getting up in the middle of the night to wave buenas noches to friends or lovers, dead and alive. In the liminal space between waking and sleeping, he communes with the dead and does whatever he damn well pleases. What does he want? Everything. Accompanying the new track is an eerie music video by Hēmi Baker. We follow Hattaway portrayed as a noctule familiar and inspired by Miley Cyrus' ' Flowers ', as he dances through Melbourne's Abbotsford Convent. Tommy Sees Ghosts/ Roadside incident are available on all major streaming platforms and BandCamp For more information and a listen, visit
