Dutch Interior Announce Debut Album, Release “Fourth Street”

Dutch Interior, the LA County-based band of Jack Nugent, Conner Reeves, Davis Stewart, Noah Kurtz and brothers Shane and Hayden Barton, have announced their debut album, Moneyball, produced by Reeves and mixed by Phil Elk (Modest Mouse, Duster). I dig this band because I know nothing about them yet I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve put out so far. The new LP is set to release via their label home, Fat Possum, on March 21. In 2024, we premiered the band’s single “Ecig” and, while it won’t be featured on the record, Dutch Interior have already gifted us one piece of the puzzle, the incredibly fascinating “Sandcastle Molds,” a psychedelic, thumping track where the band’s mystique could simmer. Now, they’ve pointed their arrow at lead single “Fourth Street,” a dreamy, scaled-back and slow-burn indie-rock song. It’s got a little bit of three-chord magic in there, and a multi-part chorus that it builds out of a blasé lead vocal. That faint pedal steel melody that whimpers deep in the arrangement is particularly gorgeous. I know it’s still January, but “Fourth Street” has some serious SOTY energy.

Kurtz says of “Fourth Street,” “[The song] 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.”
