Denver’s American Culture have announced their fourth album, Hey Brother, It’s Been A While, which will be out May 3 via Convulse Records. It was produced by Beach House drummer James Barone, who has worked on records by Hatchie and Nathaniel Rateliff.
Hey Brother, It’s Been A While is the band’s first album in three years and documents a very tough period for singer/guitarist Michael Stein. “Michael was homeless last year–he was a missing person for three months. We thought he was dead,” says co-vocalist/guitarist Chris Adolf. “So a lot of his songs are about that experience, and then my songs are about the other end–thinking my friend is gone. It’s almost as if we were writing back and forth.”
The first single off the album is “Let It Go,” which features Midwife and is both shoegazy and danceable. You can watch the video below.
