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.
