Finding myself in a snug Glasgow hotel room after experiencing North African humidity and a a full on tropical lite rainstorm while searching for my point of destination . I'm tempted to just stay in and listen to the Hotline TNT album Raspberry Moon Much as I like Glasgow I must be getting to that age
.Hotline TNT are a very 2025 band and Raspberry Moon is a very 2025 album They're from New Yprk apparently but it sounds like Seattle or Chicago 1992-94 They're close cousins of Urge Overkill or the Smashing Pumpkins 1979 It's sort of Grunge Lite meets Power Pop and all very unchallenging and palatable.
Lead singer Will Anderson has an unemotive drone of delivery which makes an instrument of his voice It's all a bit of a pick and mux exrcise in terms of songs of the increasingly distant past Sugar and My Bloody Valentine drift in and out of the mix None of this is a criticism They do what they do quite impeccably The only thing really lacking is enough of their iwn identity
