Rocketship drops Hurt Feelings album Hear New Threats
Portland indie-pop stalwarts Rocketship are hitting the road, celebrating three decades of musical excellence while simultaneously charting an exciting new course. The band has recently reissued their seminal 1996 album, A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness, marking a milestone that deserves a proper celebration. This anniversary reissue is bundled with plans for a reunion tour, bringing the nostalgic sounds of the nineties to a fresh audience.
But the story doesn’t end there. While honoring their classic catalog, Rocketship are already busy crafting the future. They have unveiled a brand new album, Hurt Feelings, which promises to push the band’s signature sound into exciting new territory. The anticipation is already building, as the project signals a palpable evolution in their artistic direction.
Leading the charge for this new era is the lead single, “New Threats“. This track isn’t just a simple update; it’s a dreamy, sophisticated evolution of the band’s established aesthetic. It takes their signature fuzzed-out and demure guitar pop and steers it into an eclectic, captivating space.
Listeners diving into “New Threats” are immediately reminded of some of their most cherished contemporaries. The sound bridges the gap between the nostalgic tones of nineties acts like Stereolab and the atmospheric brilliance of Olivia Tremor Control, creating a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
Rocketship isn’t just looking backward with this anniversary release; they are confidently looking forward. With the release of Hurt Feelings and the track “New Threats“, the band is proving that indie-pop veterans still possess the ability to innovate, delivering music that is deeply rooted in their history yet thrillingly contemporary.
