Tracey Nelson w/ Oldstar

***

New York singer/songwriter Austin Knoll, who previously sang in My Sins and played guitar in Hotline TNT, is released his new album as Tracey Nelson, Hercules, via K Records imprint Perennial. The project is named after Knoll’s mother’s (“He carries it with him wherever he goes,” a note on his Bandcamp reads) and you’ll likely recognize some of his collaborators on it, including MJ Lenderman and his Wednesday bandmate and former partner Karly Hartzman; Ethan Baechtold and Xandy Chelmis of Wednesday and Lenderman’s band The Wind; Landon George and Colin Miller, also of The Wind; and another former Hotline TNT guitarist, Jack Kraus. It was co-produced and recorded by Lenderman and Miller, and you can see the cover art and tracklist, and stream a few tracks, below.
