It was recorded in a log cabin studio in Los Angeles, and Meek recorded vocals outdoors on the front porch, looking through the living room window where the band played inside.<\/p>\n<p>Today (January 8), the first preview of the album arrives in the form of lead single \u2018Gasoline\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Buck Meek - Gasoline (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jlX-R9F6aH8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>In the song, Meek continues to showcase the themes that run throughout the album as a whole \u2013 holding up a mirror to the absurdity of devotion and the choice to love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Making words up while we made love\/ One month and she\u2019s in my blood\/ Ooheeah lalo, faroosee mneykro\/ Will it be me or will it be her\/ To say I love you first?<\/em>\u201d he sings, backed by a fast-paced yet slightly melancholic acoustic guitar melody.<\/p>\n<p>The track also comes with a new music video by director Noel Paul, and features appearances from Ken Woodward, Adam Brisbin, and Jesse Quebbeman-Turley, who also play on the track.<\/p>\n<p>Other artists who join Meek throughout the tracklisting include composer and ambient musician Alex Somers, as well as drummers Jonathan Wilson, and Kyle Crane, and longtime collaborator, vocalist Adrianne Lenker.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian Olsen also created a wide range of sounds and melodies with modular synths, and Meek\u2019s brother, Dylan, contributed piano, keys, and vocals.<\/p>\n<p>James Krivchenia\u2019s contributions to the record come following his work with Big Thief on \u2018<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/big-thief-dragon-new-warm-mountain-i-believe-in-you-review-3154381\">Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You<\/a>\u2019 in 2022, and sharing his own solo album \u2018Performing Belief\u2019 last year.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3922018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3922018\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3922018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buck Meek, 2026.
