Ha Ha Tonka is an unmistakable indie-meets-Southern rock band comprised of Brett Anderson, Lennon Bone, Lucas Long and Brian Roberts. Sitting at the crossroads of Americana and indie- where Alabama meets Arcade Fire- the quartet’s highly anticipated fourth full-length album, Lessons, is released today via Bloodshot Records.
The album was recorded at Bright Eyes’ ARC Studios in Omaha, Nebraska and in NYC with producers Dan Molad (Lucius) and The Ryantist. Filled with touching lyrics & poignant guitar chords, watch the “American Ambition” acoustic video where it premiered with USA Today or HERE. Feel free to post & share.
