Based in Los Angeles County, Dutch Interior are set to release a new album, their first on Fat Possum. The first single off that album, "Fourth Street," is an absolutely killer blend of alt-country and indie rock. For that genre of music, this song lands somewhere in the middle of Wilco and Wednesday. It's not as loud as Wednesday can be, but it's not as mellow and Americana based as Wilco can be. As soon as the opening riff of "Fourth Street" hits, you'll know this is going to be a killer rock and roll song. It's equal parts twangy and equal parts grunge-y. We have some universal sweet spots here at If It's Too Loud..., and Dutch Interior are hitting a few of them for us.
Guitarist/vocalist Noah Kurtz says of the band's latest single:
“‘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.”
