I wrote about The Bittersweets here when their Virt Records debut was coming out. I haven’t given the band much thought since then. But they’re back with a new record and a new label. Compass Records has announced a September release of their followup to 2006′s The Life You Always Wanted. Goodnight San Francisco is due out September 9th. The title alludes to the fact that the band has left San Francisco and relocated to Nashville. The band has also left two members behind and become a trio. You can preview the song “Wreck” here now.
“Wreck” is a pretty solid bit of pop influenced alt-country. Hannah Prater’s vocals are just this side of pissed off and they add plenty of angst to this tale of heartbreak.
Sounds a little bit too commercial. But “When The World Ends” is very fine. Now I can sing along.
