Will Anderson can’t just get over it. He needs to work through his emotions and write (hopefully) a great song where his feelings from the experience can stick before he moves on. In this instance, “I Thought You’d Change Your Mind” — the lead single from the Brooklyn noise pop band’s forthcoming sophomore effort and first since signing with Third Man Records, Cartwheel — can be filed under the category of “situationships,” with Anderson’s thoughts bouncing back and forth between knowing what he wants and questioning if it’s the right call. “Cartwheel / We’re riding on our heels / No deal / A kiss would make it real,” his mixed signals sing out. The only sure thing for him to grab onto are the listen’s hook before landing on a cushioned swirl of lo-fi-drenched guitar pop. It feels like the natural landing spot for a head perpetually spinning in itself.

Hotline TNT’s Cartwheel will be released November 3rd on Third Man Records.
