The Lone Bellow are set to bring their fifth album ‘Half Moon Light’ to Whelan’s this May.

The album sees the three-piece return New York with Aaron Dessner, whom the band counts as both a hero and a friend.

“We already had a friendship with Aaron and a strong, shared understanding of our musical vision,” Zach says. “It’s really important to us to be a part of a community of musicians. We like that way of making something. Aaron showed us a new way of trusting. His idea of bringing in Josh Kaufman and J.T. Bates was such a beautiful gift. The meekness that these friends brought to the table was something that we will never forget. A sense of controlled fury. Lightning in a shoebox.”

Half Moon Light was recorded in Dressner’s studio complex in upstate New York  “We made this record in a place of joy with our friends. We were trying to do something bigger than ourselves,” says Brian. “I think we’ve been wanting to make this record for a while now. It just hasn’t come together as perfectly as it did this time.”
