For a young artist making her way in the music industry, it’s a powerful image: we can’t really know what’s ahead for us but – as Cole has learned – y\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eou should honk your horn to tell the world you're coming\u003c\/span\u003e, and otherwise just enjoy the ride. Melding shoegaze and alternative rock with infectious pop melodies and strains of 90s nostalgia, \u003ci\u003eSwitchbacks\u003c\/i\u003e is a commentary on the pursuit of success and how to protect the pure joy and love that lives at our core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCole, who grew up in Covington, Louisiana, moved to Nashville in 2019 to study music business and songwriting. There, she was exposed to new sounds and possibilities – and given the permission to dream big.

It was this unique blend of style and technique that drew the attention of new independent label Tight Knit Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCole and her longtime collaborator and partner Josef Kuhn recorded \u003ci\u003eSwitchbacks \u003c\/i\u003ein their home studio between 2024 and 2025, playing nearly every instrument themselves. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAided by mixer Sonny Diperri (American Football, Wisp, Julie), the\u003c\/span\u003e album features a much wider and denser sonic palette than Cole’s previous releases, with massive, cathartic splashes of sound that were constructed with the live show in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSwitchbacks\u003c\/i\u003e comes out on September 4th.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/3106\/0989\/collections\/0229_11.jpg?v=1783356848","url":"https:\/\/tightknit.fm\/collections\/hannah-cole.oembed","provider":"Tight Knit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
