Episode Details

Autoheart joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to celebrate their brand-new album Heartlands, a sweeping and defiant journey through the heart, queer identity, and emotional landscapes that bind them to their fans. Known for their lush melodies, honest songwriting, and cinematic indie-pop sound, the London trio continues to redefine themselves. With Heartlands, Autoheart channels the energy of their sold-out U.S. tour and the transformative moments of the road into a collection of tracks that feel intimate, expansive, and made for live connection. The record was self-produced and mixed by Danton Supple, yielding a full-band sound that gives breathing room to every vocal crack, piano chord, and guitar hum.

In this episode, we dive into the creative process behind Heartlands, exploring the inspiration for standout singles like “Sad Divide,” “Baby Bird,” “Indigo Chateau,” and the latest release, “Denial.” We hear how the band transformed personal reckoning into anthems, and how queer identity, growing up and growing into artistry, informed the record. We also look ahead to their biggest tour yet: The Heartlands Tour, spanning 36 North American dates—with stops in cities like Lansing, Detroit, Chicago, and beyond—paired with special VIP acoustic sets, meet-and-greets, signed posters, and more.
