Restless Ones, out June 16, is the band’s fifth album and was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, Swans). Restless Ones was tracked in August 2014 during a 10-day session at El Paso, TX’s renowned Sonic Ranch. Located on 2,300 acres of pecan orchards bordering the Rio Grande and Mexico, the studio – the largest residential recording complex in the world – provided the perfect setting, miles away from all real world responsibilities and thus able to fully invest themselves in the act of creation.
“We took a lot of chances,” says singer/songwriter Erika Wennerstrom says, “taking the sounds in different directions in order to grow. I don’t ever want to make the same album twice.”
