London-based, queer, indie pop trio Autoheart released their fourth studio album Heartlands in August via their own O/R Records and are out on a 31-date North American tour in support, including Wednesday December 3 in Philadelphia at Warehouse on Watts, grab tickets here. Watch the video for the single, “Sad Divide”.
Produced by the band and mixed by Danton Supple (Coldplay, U2, Pet Shop Boys), Heartlands is pop for overthinkers: big feelings, bigger choruses, and the occasional dissociative episode. A little bit camp. Maybe a lot. It’s crying at the disco - with harmonies. The record is a tribute to the landscapes they encountered on the road across the U.S. on their sold-out 2024 tour - neon-lit truck stops, weathered diners buzzing with late-night chatter, and long, quiet highways at dawn. But it’s the fans - the “Heartheads" - who left the deepest mark. Heartlands is a love letter to them: a reflection of America as both real and imagined, part emotional reckoning, part dreamscape.
“Our fans call themselves ‘Heartheads’, which is perfect,” says guitarist Barney JC. “They’re this incredible, artistic, supportive community who’ve sort of willed us into existence - they believed in us when no one else did and made our music part of their lives and their own creativity. ‘Heartlands' is where we all live, spiritually speaking. Maybe it’s a kind of imagined queer refuge - a place of psychological escape where people like us can find each other. That feels more necessary than ever right now.”
Autoheart have long defied classification, blending indie guitar hooks with lo-fi disco, soaring piano ballads and electronic textures. With over 3 million monthly Spotify streams and 5 million monthly YouTube views, they’ve built a devoted global following drawn to their open-hearted lyricism and fiercely independent ethos. Their 2021 viral hit “Stalker’s Tango” became a cult favourite in anime and cosplay circles, catapulting them onto global charts.
