New Song, Album from Hospitality

"I Miss Your Bones"

Let's take a break from the 2013 Listacular for a second to talk about a band that I loved in 2012 and who have announced some new stuff coming in 2014.

Hospitality's self-titled debut may have been the record that I played the most during the first half of last year. Amber Papini's voice and songwriting coupled with the overall Belle and Sebastian-type tweeishness of the band's recorded sound played right into one of my personal sweet spots. The fact that their live sound was a bit beefier only made me enjoy the band more.

Hospitality have released the first single from their upcoming Trouble; and "I Miss Your Bones" makes it sound like things are moving a little bit in the direction of the band's live sound, while retaining much of that Elvis Costello influence that I heard on the first record.

2014 is already looking pretty interesting. Trouble is out on Merge on January 28th.
