True Green reveals upcoming album ‘Hail Disaster’ and releases new song “Italian Lightning”

Around this time last year, the Minneapolis-based band True Green dropped their 2024 debut album, My Lost Decade, and followed it up with the release of two new tracks, “Consider The Priesthood” and “Falconry.” These songs were just a taste of what was to come, as they are part of True Green’s upcoming sophomore album, Hail Disaster, set to be released on March 24th by Spacecase Records. Along with this announcement, the band also unveiled their latest single, “Italian Lightning,” which was made available on Bandcamp.True Green consists of Dan Hornsby, Tailer Ransom, and Peter Miller, with Hornsby taking charge as the band’s primary songwriter and vocalist. Known for his poignant and memorable lyrics, it comes as no surprise that Hornsby is also a published novelist. His storytelling approach and insightful observations draw comparisons to bands like the Microphones and Silver Jews. “Italian Lightning,” the newest single, is no exception, with lyrics like “I’m a hotel by the airport/ You’re a timeshare by the sea” that capture a sense of longing and reflection.Musically, “Italian Lightning” exudes a soothing and nostalgic vibe reminiscent of indie rock from the early 2000s, calling to mind the sounds of artists like Wilco and Guster. In a note shared on Bandcamp, Hornsby hinted at the challenging circumstances in his hometown, alluding to ICE’s presence with the message, “Dropping the first single off the new album early for Bandcamp. Shit’s pretty rough here in Minneapolis. All proceeds go to a mutual aid operation we have going for vulnerable families in the Twin Cities if you buy it today or tomorrow.”Listeners can immerse themselves in the evocative sounds of “Italian Lightning” and support a meaningful cause through its purchase.Hail Disaster is scheduled for release on March 26th via Spacecase Records, offering fans the opportunity to experience more of True Green’s captivating music.
