III

Description

The Lumineers’new albumIIIis audacious: every note, every syllable, and every moment of silence in between is emotionally charged. It’s darker in tone than previous albums and is presented in three chapters, with each one centering on one main character from a fictitious family known as the Sparks, who span three generations in the album’s storyline.III’sconcept began while the band was writing in the Catskill mountains, where producerSimone Feliceworks. Mixing raw emotional themes with their ear-catching melodies, expressive vocals and trademark acoustic sound,IIImoves masterly in artistic directions not yet traveled by the band.Regarding the cinematic new record, multi-instrumentalistJeremiah Fraitessays, “This collection of songs worked out in a beautiful way, and I feel with this album we’ve really hit our stride.” VocalistWesley Schultzadds that lead single “Gloria,” “is about love between an addict and her family.”180g vinyl 2LP-set with three bonus tracks.
