Philadelphia power pop extraordinaires Hurry have released their new album, Don’t Look Back, out today from Lame-O Records! Don’t Look Back provides another dose of Hurry’s timeless, longing guitar pop, with vocalist/guitarist Matt Scottoline tapping into his seemingly endless well of shining melodies paired with emotional candor. The album’s crisp production, courtesy of Ian Farmer, allows Scottoline’s impeccable pop songcraft to shine, offering an album packed with big guitars, big hooks, and a big heart.

Don’t Look Back follows 2021’s Fake Ideas, and continues Hurry’s streak of shiny power pop releases. The album’s ten songs are packed with chiming guitars and layered harmonies, all calibrated for maximum catchiness courtesy of Ian Farmer’s crisp production. Don’t Look Back takes its title from a song by Teenage Fanclub, who famously named one of their records after a Big Star song with 1993’s Thirteen. It’s a lighthearted nod towards the referential nature of power pop, but by now Hurry have amassed an impressive catalog of irresistible guitar music of their own—proof that they’re exceptionally adept at using the genre’s best traits to create fresh and satisfying new music in this longstanding tradition.
