Philly indie pop/punk outfit Radiator Hospital are prepping their first album since 2014’s Torch Song. It’s titled Radiator Hospital Play The Songs You Like and due for arrival on October 20th via Salinas Records.

Their fifth full-length to date, it spans a generous 16 tracks, including titles such as “Long Distance Dedication”, “Cheap Day”, “Heart of Darkness”, and “Half Empty”. It was recorded with Jeff Zeigler (The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile) and serves as something of a meta reflection on the meanings of songs.

“Play The Songs You Like is a collection of songs not only about how songs themselves affect our lives, but how the same song can mean wildly different things to different people and how that meaning can change over time,” elaborates a press statement.

For a taste of what’s to come, Radiator Hospital have shared the lead single, a slow but sweetly jangling cut called “Dance Number”. Check it out via its official video below, filmed by Catherine Elicson.
