Melbourne, Australia five-piece Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have announced their debut album, Hope Dawns, and shared a video for a new song, "Talking Straight." Hope Dawns is due out June 15 via Sub Pop. Below is the "Talking Straight" video (directed by Matt Sav), followed by the album's tracklist and cover art, as well as their upcoming tour dates. The album includes the previously shared single "Mainland," which is also below.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Joe White had this to say about "Talking Straight" in a press release: "The concept came about when I heard someone talking about the possibility of us, humans, being alone in the universe, and how sad that would be. The idea in this song is that we might be lonely, but we could be lonely together."

3. Mainland
