The follow-up to 2022\u2019s <em>For the Sake of Bethel Woods<\/em> is led by first single \u201cThe Ghouls,\u201d an in-studio video for which can be seen below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>A Bridge to Far<\/em> was produced by Sam Evian and boasts guest appearances by Madison Cunningham, Hannah Cohen, and\u00a0Meg Lui. And yes, the band are aware of the potential for confusion based on the spelling of the album\u2019s name, which they assure is \u201cnot a typo\u201d but rather a means to \u201cexplore the hope, belief and ultimate path to something or somewhere greater, despite the circumstances.

Stylistically, there\u2019s familiarity in places we\u2019ve been as a band in the past, as well as new places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continues, \u201cthe reference and inspiration is Midlake. This album is less about referencing someone else\u2019s sound and more about sounding like us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The group has only played live a handful of times since 2023 and just once this year, but will be back in action in Texas on Sept. 27 for the Hoodoo Mural festival in Amarillo, Nov. 14 in Austin and the following day in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:click here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
