The Lumineers - Automatic (Vinyl)

Since their breakout 2012 self-titled debut album, The Lumineers have achieved some incredible milestones: twenty-four number one hits, billions of streams, packed global arena tours, multi-platinum releases, Grammy nominations, and, most important to core members Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz, numerous beloved, timeless songs. The band's fifth studio album Automatic out February 14, is being released in a music landscape that has become dominated by solo artists dependent on other writers. Schultz says being one of the few groups touring who write all their own material, is "a unique badge of honor." The emerging songs, written exclusively by Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, feature a new, aching vulnerability, sly humor, and bold acknowledgements of need - for love, respect, and connection in an increasingly chaotic world. The new album features the hard-won wisdom of a longtime musical partnership. Through two-decades Fraites and Schultz's love of their collaborative songwriting process remains undiminished. Automatic is proof.
