Indie rockers The Hatchets have a new record out, and it’s their first new music since 2019. There’s eight songs here, bringing a sunny, folk-tinged guitar pop style to themes of malaise, alienation, destructive cycles and yearning for liberation. There’s an underlying class consciousness to songwriter Justin Otto’s lyricism that endures the battle between despair and urgency, recognizing that capitalism incessantly drains not only ourselves but also our institutions of sense of purpose. The Hatchets’ “Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning’s End” may be a pleasant sonic breeze, but its subject matter is more morbidly relevant than ever.
