Brightside

Multi-platinum selling GRAMMY-nominated band The Lumineers are back with their fourth record, "BRIGHTSIDE", releasing on January 14, 2022 on Dualtone. Coming off the success of their darkly cinematic third record "III", Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites' latest work is their most spontaneous and joyous yet. The album features their ever-more-sophisticated songwriting and arranging, with production from longtime producer and friend Simone Felice. The lead single and title track, "BRIGHTSIDE", was recorded in just one day, setting off the album with an anthemic bang. The song touches on themes of love and American life, showcasing the foot-stomping, arena-filling sound the band is beloved for worldwide. "This time it was bare bones," Schultz expressed. "We started demoing in Jer's basement and didn't even touch the computer - we just used my phone to record voice memos, and that was what we sent to Simone. For me, it was about wanting to have more curiosity in the studio and not have everything all dialed in. It felt like a new path."
