The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still is driven by a sense of fear that erupts into blistering choruses, revealing some of the most unguarded moments Hot Mulligan has ever committed to tape. At its core, the record is raw, relentless, and impossible to ignore. Packed with fight-or-flight hooks, it commands attention from the first note, while its finer details including shimmering guitar lines, subtle synth flourishes, and Tades Sanville’s gripping high notes, make it the band’s most cohesive and fully realized body of work to date. On “Moving to Bed Bug Island,” a cathartic opener straight out of Hot Mully’s wheelhouse, lead singer Tades Sanville is screaming for sanity huddled in a basement; by the album’s final song, the very-literally-titled “My Dad Told Me to Write a Nice One for Nana So This Is It,” he’s monologuing his last respects over acoustic guitar to the mother figure who helped raise him. Lead single “And a Big Load” is a heroic pop-punk rager that spends its entire two minutes and 53 seconds outrunning the ghosts that chase it. “It Smells Like Fudge Axe in Here” reels you in with its emo-gone-Tokyo Police Club groove and “Carbon Monoxide Hotel” pairs emotional, raw-nerve lyrics with a gutting breakdown. “Slumdog Scungillionaire,” the penultimate track, weaves lyrics from throughout the LP into a soft-to-loud, time signature-shifter unlike anything the band has ever written. Released along with the album is the focus track “It Smells Like Fudge Axe In Here”. The song pairs Hot Mulligan’s signature upbeat post-emo melodies with defiant energy and lyrics that hit with a darkly reflective edge. Accompanying the track is an official music video, directed by Michael Herrick, that features a tense Italian chess match gone wrong. The peaceful summertime courtyard scene evolves into a full-on brawl, sending both doves and spaghetti flying. Previously released singles gave listeners an early glimpse into the visceral and emotionally charged world of the new record. Earlier in the month, the group released “Island in the Sun” feat. Cory Castro of Free Throw” accompanied by a music video featuring candid tour footage that offers a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered energy that fuels Hot Mulligan’s world – watch HERE. The album’s first single, “And A Big Load” is packed with bold riffs and careful sonic nuances that fans know and love alongside a pop-punk-inspired music video – watch HERE.

When the emo band formed in 2014 and cut their teeth playing house shows and naming songs by closing their eyes and typing into auto-correct on their phones, no one expected they’d be selling out thousand-cap venues, one of their scene’s most respected bands a decade later. But as the band readies their phenomenal fourth LP The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still (Wax Bodega), that’s exactly where they’re at. Hot Mulligan is a resounding success story, the #1 Hot New Band (11 years running, just ask them), and ready to keep fighting the good fight. Since 2018’s Pilot put Hot Mulligan on the map, they’ve been lauded in Paste and Alternative Press, streamed over 140 million times on Spotify, and toured with sonic forefathers like The Wonder Years and Jimmy Eat World. For Hot Mulligan, the new LP is a white-knuckled affirmation of everything they stand for. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “AND A BIG LOAD” HERE
