Dutch Interior announce new album & tour, share “Fourth Street”

Los Angeles band Dutch Interior have announced their new album, Moneyball, which will be out March 21 via Fat Possum (it’s their first for the label). It was produced by the band’s Connor Reeves at their Long Beach studio and mixed by Phil Ek (Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Duster). “We wanted to acknowledge that we exist in a tradition of American music and take that to places that are personal to us,” the band say. “It’s like we renovated an old house and then invited people in.”

The first single from the album is “Fourth Street,” a warm and sludgy country number that mixes ragged riffs and gentle melodies. Says Noah Kurtz, who wrote and sings this one, “‘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.” You can watch the video below.

Dutch Interior will be on tour later this year, including an LA show opening for Acetone and dates supporting Frog and Lowertown. Their full schedule is below.
