Dark in Here, out June 25th via Merge.
“Mobile” boasts a nimble mix of guitars and piano, and the lyrics find frontman John Darnielle recounting the Biblical story of Jonah, recast with a Southern twist and ostensibly set on the coastal town of Mobile, Alabama. “I’m on a balcony in Mobile, Alabama, waiting for the wind to throw me down,” Darnielle sings, “Lord, if you won’t keep me safe and warm/Then send down the storm/Send down the storm.”
Today, celebrated rock/alt-country group
Lucero releases their 10th studio album
When You Found Me (Liberty and Lament/Thirty Tigers). Lucero reunites with Grammy Award winner Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Drive-by Truckers), who produced their 2018 acclaimed effort
Among The Ghosts.
When You Found Me was recorded in the band’s hometown of Memphis, TN at the historic Sam Phillips Recording Studio. Listen to When You Found Me HERE.
Magnet premiered the band’s newest single “Back In Ohio,” a raucous foot-stomper written about the incredulous true story of William Morgan from Ohio, who fought alongside Cuban rebels to help them win the Cuban Revolution. Lucero frontman Ben Nichols directed the lyric video about this colorful character; watch HERE.
