: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. :,
: The band consists of Kerry Alexander, Chris Hoge, and Connor :
:' Davison. Named for a trouble-making character from the Madeline ':
,: childrenÆs books, Bad Bad Hats is defined by a balance of sweet :,
: and sour. Their music honors classic pop songwriting, with nods :
:' to nineties rock simplicity and pop-punk frivolity. Through it ':
,: all, AlexanderÆs unflinchingly sincere lyrics cut to the :,
: emotional heart of things. :
:' ':
,: Alexander and Hoge met while attending Macalester College in :,
: Saint Paul, Minnesota. In 2012, they formed Bad Bad Hats with :
:' friend and bassist Noah Boswell, and began performing around ':
,: the Twin Cities. That same year, they were signed by Minneapolis :,
: label Afternoon Records. Their 2015 debut album Psychic Reader :
:' caught the attention of outlets including The New Yorker, NPR, ':
,: Pitchfork, and Paste. Since the release of Psychic Reader, Bad :,
: Bad Hats has toured the U.S. extensively, supporting artists :
:' including Margaret Glaspy, Hippo Campus, and Third Eye Blind. ':
,: :,
: Lightning Round, the bandÆs second full-length album, finds Bad :
:' Bad Hats more confident and mature than ever. Producer and ':
,: collaborator Brett Bullion (who also produced Psychic Reader) :,
: encouraged the group to record live in the studio, an approach :
:' which pushed the band outside of their comfort zone and lends ':
,: many songs on the record a loose, organic feel. There is a :,
: vulnerability in this (fluttering tape loops, a few wrong notes) :
:' and it makes the music on the new album feel as honest and ':
,: unpredictable as AlexanderÆs lyrics. In this spontaneous :,
: environment, Hoge, who is known to play every instrument in the :
:' band, delivers some of his most inspired musical performances ':
,: yet. :,
: :
:' As for Alexander, sheÆs still writing love songs, ones that ':
,: recount with cinematic swell the subtle joy and pain of the :,
: everyday. Her vocals are supported by open, breathing :
:' arrangements that feature lush keyboard sounds and woody guitar ':
,: tones. Davison was recruited to play drums on the album and :,
: became a full-time member in the process. His drumming and :
:' melodic contributions give the new songs a level of nuance not ':
,: heard in previous releases. :,
: :
:' Lightning Round marks the final release with contributions from ':
,: original member Noah Boswell, who will be leaving the group this :,
: fall to pursue a masterÆs degree. Bad Bad Hats continues with :
:' Alexander, Hoge, and Davison. They have plans to tour the ':
,: country this year. :,
