Urban Heat Unveil ‘Like This’ Video, Announce Sophomore Album
Austin-based post-punk trio Urban Heat unveiled “Like This,” the first single off their forthcoming sophomore album titled The Tower, which will be released in 2024 through Artoffact Records. The song’s accompanying video, a pulsing psychological thriller, depicts a night out at a club, where bandleader Jonathan Horstmann shifts bodies between his own and a mysterious woman throughout the sci-fi-inspired, neon-lit escapade.
The video was directed by Teresa Jolie, and produced by Horstmann and Ben Greenspan.
“‘Like This’ came about the way a lot of our songs do: start with a beat that slaps, and mess around till there’s an undeniable bass groove,” Horstmann tells SPIN. “The synth melody is one of my favorites that I’ve written for Urban Heat. As for the lyrics, they say ‘Write what you know.’ I deal with depression and have a history of substance abuse, so that’s what happened. Maybe someday I’ll stop writing about it, but there’s still plenty left to explore on a personal level.”
Urban Heat are currently gearing up for a month-long North American headlining tour, which kicks off on Nov. 15 in Denton, TX. Ahead of the 23-date run, the trio is slated to perform with Ghostland Observatory on Oct. 28 in Buda, TX and at the Darker Waves festival in Huntington Beach, Ca.
Earlier this year, the band released two singles, “Goodbye Horses” and “Blissful Neighbor.” The group’s debut album, Wellness, was released in 2022.
In our May profile of the band, we wrote Urban Heat captures “the frustrations of trying to make it in a big city when rents only go up and the squeeze is put on creatives. That they inspire you to move around and embrace the night is to say the struggle is worth fighting.”
