How’s it going?
-Everyone: Good!
You guys just put out a new single, tell us about that!
-Ben: Tumbleweed? Or is this for…
Nick: Tumbleweed?
Ben: We’re super excited about it. It’s the title track off our new album. It’s the first album we did in a big professional studio.
Nick: I feel like all of our social media posts have been just like, Tumbleweed, #Tumbleweed, new single Tumbleweed off our new album Tumbleweed, #Tumbleweed. If you didn’t know about it, Tumbleweed is coming out.
Ben: But yeah, we’re pumped. I think it’s the best thing we’ve put out to date and we’re ready to put it out there, get behind it, and tour. Let people listen to it, finally.
Nick: Tumbleweed, Tumbleweed, Tumbleweed.
Can we expect a video any time soon?
Ben: Oh, I don’t know about that.
Nick: Yeah, but not like a traditional music video. We’ll probably put together spliced clips and stuff, but yeah.
Anything about the upcoming album?
Nick: It’s 8 songs that we’ve been performing over the past two years and we recorded it at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. I feel like it’s some of our best music that we’ve ever written and recorded. So I think everybody’s really excited about it finally – get it out there into the world and see the response we can get from it – see what people think about it.
Will it be available on vinyl?
Nick: Yes. But on record store day in April. The vinyl will be a couple months later.
You guys are on a really long tour right now. Do you plan on going to the west coast?
Everyone: We just started, yeah.
Ben: This summer we’ll be on the west coast.
Nick: We’re doing High Sierra, and kind of routing a California, Midwest, out west tour. That’ll be our first time in California
Nick: We’re doing some stuff in Wyoming, Idaho, and Colorado. Texas.
Ben: We’re pretty much going everywhere.
Doing any festivals this year?
Everyone: Tons, tons.
Nick: High Sierra, 420 Fest, Floyd Fest, Mountain, and many more. The rest we can’t say.
Ben: Mountain Music Festival, West Virginia.
Anything else?
Ben: We’re doing our own festival again this year, Big What. It’s in a different location, bigger area, better stage. We’re still working out everything for that.
