Hurry’s New Single Enlists a Power-Pop Hero

“Moving After You” arrives with vocals from Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub, a collaboration that grew out of a shared stage in Glasgow and years of mutual respect.

Hurry has never hidden its debt to Teenage Fanclub. The Philadelphia band borrowed the title of its last album, Don’t Look Back, straight from a Gerard Love song, and its live sets sometimes reached back to that same track. Now the connection gets more direct. On “Moving After You,” the second single from the forthcoming Zoned Out, Love steps in to sing a layered vocal bridge, turning a personal milestone into a recorded fact.

The song itself moves with a soft, dreamy push that still hits hard. A guitar solo cuts through the middle, a rarity in 2026 that feels earned rather than nostalgic. Frontman Matt Scottoline wrote the part with a second voice in mind from the start. “I sort of knew from the moment I wrote it that I wanted Gerry to do it,” he says. The collaboration had a long runway. After touring the UK behind Don’t Look Back, the band covered Teenage Fanclub’s song on stage in Glasgow, with Love joining them for the chorus. Scottoline calls it one of the best shows he’s ever played.

What followed were casual emails, updates on works in progress, and an offer that Love accepted. “Having Gerard Love sing on one of my songs still feels surreal, a very full circle moment for me,” Scottoline says. A video by Jason Rose accompanies the single. Zoned Out lands July 10 on Lame-O Records.
