The Lumineers will celebrate 20 years of songwriting with their new album, ‘Automatic’, available via Dualtone worldwide on Friday, 14 February 2025. Pre-orders are available now. The 2x Grammy Award-nominated chart-topper’s fifth studio album is introduced by new single, ‘Same Old Song’.
“This album marks 20 years of songwriting between Jeremiah and me,” says Wesley Schultz. “The album explores some of the absurdities of the modern world, like the increasingly blurry line between what’s real and what’s not, and the variety of ways we numb ourselves while trying to combat both boredom and overstimulation.”
“People who think they have our number,they’ll be surprised,” says Jeremiah Fraites of the album which promises to see the group exploring new musical avenues. Inspired by Peter Jackson’s 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back, the band, with the help of co-producers David Baron and Simone Felice, set up shop in the expansive tracking room at Woodstock’s Utopia Studio.
Armed with a large array of drums, pianos, amps, guitars, vocal mics the setup allowed the group to capture as much as possible with minimal delay. In fact the album was recorded in less than a month and contains what Fraites calls “a palpable sense of connection between Wes and me. There’s lots of love on this record.”
