Nashville-based indie-folk band The Lone Bellow announced their sixth studio album this morning, What a Time to Be Alive, with a new video for the single “You Were Leaving.” The trio of Zach Williams, Brian Elmquist and Kanene Pipkin will head out on tour after the album hits on February 13.
Elmquist headed up the production of the new album, which started smoothly. “We wanted to shake things up and try a new approach this time around,” he said. “People just sat at whatever instrument they were feeling, and then we’d jam until we had a song. It felt like we were teenagers again playing in a garage, which is a magical thing for a band that’s 15 years into their career.”
But after working on the album in Henderson, Kent., and Muscle Shoals, Ala., the band had to start again from scratch when their van was stolen along with instruments, gear and a hard drive containing the recordings. With help from their fans, they were able to head back into the studio and get the songs finished.
Watch the new single for “You Were Leaving” below.
