Bad Bad Hats Release 'Psychic Reader'; Drop New Video & Announce Fall Tour

Minneapolis' indie rock trio Bad Bad Hats released their critically acclaimed debut album Psychic Reader today via Afternoon Records. In celebration of the highly anticipated record, the band will kick off a national fall tour, making stops in Chicago, DC, NYC, Philly and more. They will join Saddle Creek's Mynabirds as direct support for this stint of live dates.

Album opener "Midway" is an undeniably infectious track that is broken up by a danceable, energetic pop chorus that tells a story of a relationship's impending end. Taking the universally poignant subject matter to dramatic peaks, the "Midway" video premiered with PAPER Magazine today.

Psychic Reader is comprised of experimental beats, growling guitars, and catchy pop melodies that are both dreamy and strikingly deep. Bolstered by the touches of producer Brett Bullion (Poliça), the band takes a refreshingly rebellious approach with lyrics that challenge gender conventions. Named as one of SPIN's "Artists to Watch," Bad Bad Hats emerges with a record that is both artistically honest and widely accessible. Catch the band's captivating live show in a city near you!
