Shoot the Point is the eighth studio album by American band Tullycraft, released by Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records on August 22, 2025.[1] After a six-year break, the album was the band's first since The Railway Prince Hotel in 2019. This was the third in a trilogy of records recorded and engineered by Pete Remine at Dubtrain Studio in Seattle, WA.
Reception
[edit | edit source]"Tullycraft are Seattle cuddlecore legends, now in their 30th year of making hyperactive, winsome, and very twee punky indiepop... It’s a Tullycraft album through and through: sing-along choruses, trade-off boy/girl vocals, and a fondness for songs about bands and music obsessives. Shoot the Point is full of them, including “Jeanie’s Up Again and Blaring Faith by The Cure,” “Street Hassle Plays on Repeat,” and “Modern Lovers.” May Tullycraft never retire their cardigans."[2] - BrooklynVegan
"When I listened to Shoot the Point, their first new album in six years, it felt like unwrapping a gift to my inner teen, and I couldn’t stop smiling. This is classic Tullycraft, packed full of cheeky references, rhinestones, sweet “sha-la-la-la” harmonies, evocative storytelling, and, of course, tambourines. The album recalls the band's 2007 indie-pop vampire concept album, Every Scene Needs a Center—the lyrics conjure a vivid picture of the goth, punk, and New Wave world, with songs like “Jeanie’s Up Again and Blaring Faith by the Cure” (an ode to a morose, born-too-late Robert Smith fangirl) and “Love on the Left Bank” (the story of a tumultuous fling that begins at a Libertines show)."[3] - The Stranger
