Hospitality‘s terrific second album, Trouble, is out today via Merge. It finds the Brooklyn band loosening up and confident taking their sound into new areas — most notably prominent use of keyboards. (Order it here.) You can hear three songs from Trouble as part of the eighth installment of our BV Studio Sessions recorded at Butler Recording in Bushwick. Big thanks to Jessica Amaya, Albert Amaya for making this look (and sound) great. Much appreciation to Chris La Putt as always. Watch:
