Hot off their appearance at SXSW, acclaimed alt-country band Hooks and the Huckleberries have hit us with another one on “Someone Else.” Produced by Matt Pence, the track evokes Tom Petty’s gentleness and wry sense of humor. As I’ve written before, Hooks & the Huckleberries are the second coming of Americana before it was Americana — the kind of raw and emotional country rock that stirs the blood.
Reflecting on the single, Adam Hooks shares, “In a nutshell, ‘Someone Else’ is both about the Stockholm Syndrome that comes with falling in love with a destructive partner, and the very human urge to do something against your best interests despite the negative consequences.”
With a heartfelt lyricism and soul-stirring melody, “Someone Else” delves into the complexities of emotional entanglement and the struggle to break free from toxic dynamics. Featuring Joshua Lee’s masterful guitar work, the single stands out as a highlight from Hooks and the Huckleberries’ sophomore album, showcasing the band’s evolution and musical maturity.
