May 2, 2025 – Hotline TNT, the New York-based band fronted by Will Anderson, share a new single and video for their latest release, “Candle,” off of their highly-anticipated new album Raspberry Moon, out June 20 via Third Man Records.

Anderson has never written a love song as real and candid as “Candle,” an open-hearted marvel about leaping into that blissful void where butterflies float through your whole body. He acknowledges his past and then turns away from it, propelled by a band that sounds eager for him to find something satisfying: “They don’t hold a candle to you/Nothing more than I can prove,” he sings, surrendering the control of logic and just giving in to whatever may come. 

“This song was the first thing we wrote for Raspberry Moon – it flowed out of our guitars quite effortlessly and it barely required even 1% of our power to put the parts in the correct order,” says Anderson. “Just to make sure it was as good as we thought it was, we brought the song over to Japan, and this video documents the reaction from that experiment.”

Recorded in the studio of modern DIY hero Amos Pitsch, and for the first time, written alongside a full band – guitarist Lucky Hunter, bassist Haylen Trammel, and drummer Mike Ralston – Raspberry Moon is a generationally great statement of youthful wistfulness and very adult growth that also happens to be very charming and sometimes funny.
