Urban Heat are back with the final single previewing their highly anticipated sophomore album. 'You've Got That Edge' is out everywhere now and 'The Tower' will see its global release on August 16th via Artoffact Records. Listen to the new song and pre-order the album here.


Reflecting on the single, bandleader Jonathan Horstmann shares that it was "the first song written for the Tower," and that sonically, it gave them "permission to go so many places," intertwining a very synthpop verse and big guitars brought in with a halftime breakdown. Further, explaining that while 'You've Got That Edge' is not "the 'new' Urban Heat sound or anything like that," it provided them with "an example of how many other genres we could explore. The rest of the songs just sort of spilled out after this one.”

Rich and driving from the first beat, Horstmann added that the song is "a damn anthem. So many of our songs are about anxiety and fear and pain and it seems right to have something that feels so supportive emotionally to get everyone ready for the rest of the record. Cuz the rest of it hurts lol."

With 'The Tower', Urban Heat share a piece of themselves with the world forever. A highly emotionally driven record, Horstmann describes it as the most personal album he's ever been a part of recording.
