I had eagerly anticipated the recent release of the recent Autoheart track “Sad Divide,” and they certainly did not disappoint. Furthermore, this LGBTQIA+ alt-pop outfit is following up the exciting momentum with the announcement of their highly anticipated fourth studio album, “Heartlands“. (Set to drop on August 15th via their own O/R Records through AWAL). In addition to this thrilling news, they’ve also unveiled plans for an extensive North American tour kicking off on September 5th. And for their devoted UK “Heartheads,” there’s no need to worry—the band has just revealed three UK dates!
10th October – “Rebellion,” Manchester
11th October – “Oslo”, London (SOLD OUT)
12th October – “Dingwalls”, London
Amid a flurry of exhilarating new updates, Autoheart is thrilled to unveil “Baby Bird,” the second single from the highly anticipated album “Heartlands.” This alt-pop anthem radiates infectious energy, featuring a driving beat and soaring melodies that create an atmosphere of empowerment and joy. Lyrically, it delves into themes of resilience and self-discovery. And furthermore, maintains the profound depth and introspection that fans of the band have come to cherish.
Speaking about the single, the band explain: “’Baby Bird’ is about surviving yourself. It’s about learning not to fear the fall – or even if you do, doing it anyway – and trusting that even if you f*** it up, given time, you’ll find your way again.”
In these new songs, the band masterfully showcases their lyrical vulnerability, creating a powerful connection with listeners. Their emotive songwriting radiates a profound sense of melancholy, resulting in an intricately composed listening experience. Yet, Autoheart has returned with an exhilarating sound that breathes fresh energy into their music. Thus propelling them to a thrilling new peak in their career.
I can always count on Autoheart to fill my ears with earworm-worthy melodies and heart-pounding harmonies. With “Baby Bird,” I find that the musical styling of this track aligns particularly well with the distinctive and ethereal qualities of MARINA‘s work. Moreover, featuring shimmering synths and poignant lyrics that explore themes of vulnerability and self-discovery. However, I recognize that my comparison may be wide of the mark. Since Autoheart has a unique flair that sets them apart in the indie pop landscape.
haring some insight on “Heartlands,” Autoheart guitarist Barney JC. says…
“This time, we’ve worn our influences on our sleeves—R.E.M., Alanis, Tori, Sheryl… and British bands like The Cure, Tears for Fears, Eurythmics. There’s another world too: indie artists like Ani DiFranco, Liz Phair, Kristin Hersh—outsiders like us.
