Dutch Interior – announce new album ‘Moneyball’ / watch the video for lead single ‘Fourth Street’

Dutch Interior — the LA County-based band of lifelong friends Jack Nugent, Conner Reeves, Davis Stewart, Noah Kurtz, and brothers Shane and Hayden Barton — today announce their Fat Possum debut, Moneyball, out March 21st, and release its lead single “Fourth Street.”  Additionally, they announce a North American tour in support of their album. 

Disparate influences converge on Moneyball, which shapeshifts and oscillates between alternative country, sharply hewn indie rock and hints of dissonant ambience, all while still sounding like a band who both speak their own private language and translate it into something universal. The ten songs are an expansion of the six-piece’s own history, a hyper-specific lore that can both recede and reappear into an endless loop of the landscape that surrounds them. All of Dutch Interior are internalized romantics, enraptured with fragmented moments that appear almost slapdash in their lyrics as well as the naive belief in human connection as the only way to save ourselves.  

Following the “muscular and capacious” (The FADER) “Ecig” and the “bleary, thoughtful, textured form of indie rock” (Stereogum) of “Sandcastle Molds,” “Fourth Street” is a frayed Americana track referencing where Dutch Interior’s first record was made, in the living room of a Fourth Street corridor apartment where three of the band members lived and three others still do.

In guitarist and vocalist Noah Kurtz’ words, “‘Fourth Street’ found its conception after a holiday trip visiting my parents. Starting off with a rambling recollection of feelings and personal anecdotes that come with living far away from loved ones, the song eventually builds to a chorus that’s about finding your footing on your own. Instrumentally, it was written with the intention of being a simple three-chord Americana rock song with a ratty, bubblegum chewing drum beat, whiny screaming lead guitar, and a cathartic a-rhythmic ending.”
