The band’s spirited, texturally rich fifth studio album, Tailing The Ghost<\/a><\/strong>, is due out June 20. Recorded entirely on the road, the spellbinding LP promises to be the band’s most commanding, cohesive body of work yet. Additionally, the group will soon embark on a lengthy North American tour spanning the summer and fall, with support from French Cassettes, Illiterate Light, and several festival appearances, including Boston Calling and Green River, among others.

About The New Release<\/strong> \u2014 Led by a steady, shuffling synthy guitar loop, “The Painter” encourages creativity. It shakes off writer’s block with its yacht rock-esque, relaxed energy. Jordan Caiola (lead vocals, guitar, bass) says the track tells the story of an artist facing doubt, pressure, and the challenge of finding inspiration to begin and complete work. With the theme “every canvas starts empty,” the song aims to give creators the push and confidence to share their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built across many towns, days, and cabins, the bouncy, melodic tune came to life in Pioneertown, CA. While drawing jazz-inspired guitar tones from 1970s Pat Metheny and Robert Fripp, Jeff Lucci (bass, guitar, keyboard, vocals) also reflects on the ongoing struggle to stay ambitious and inspired, especially after the initial creative spark fades. Ultimately, finishing things is hard, but he believes it\u2019s everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previously shared double single “7.31\/Sara’s Got Big Plans<\/a>” shows the band coming to terms with change, while wishing the best to a past love through their signature warmth, gang vocals, and rhythm guitar. Meanwhile, earlier this year, they released the lush, guitar-driven track “Canary<\/a>.” It’s splashy animated music video<\/a> delves into the nerves of a budding new romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“[‘Canary’] has a carefree yet grounded energy. According to RIFF Magazine, surf-pop-inspired riffs give the song a familiar yet fresh feel, making it ideal for fans of alt-folk with a summery edge. Moreover, the outlet praised its free-flowing, airy spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming fifth album, Tailing The Ghost<\/em><\/strong>, was written entirely on the road. Four members arranged songs face-to-face, working between meals, poker, and movies. Scenic views in Joshua Tree, Lake Travis, Colorado, and Tennessee shaped its sound. The music reflects each location\u2014spacious like deserts, shimmering like lakes, and sweeping like mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
