our new album is out!

It’s here!

I’m so thrilled to share this album with you. I could say many things, but I’ll leave it at this. I am proud of what we made. It helped me grow through a difficult time and come out a better person. And I am thankful for the family and friends by my side throughout it.

For context on the album, I suggest reading this amazing article by Columbus Monthly. I was floored by how thoughtfully it was written and how thoroughly it was researched. Hard recommend.

I think the album pairs well with a comforting drink of your choice, a comfortable place to sit, and about 40 minutes of sustained attention (for me, that’s a decaf irish coffee on the long mustard-yellow couch in front of my stereo). But that’s just me — you can enjoy it however you’d like to. (If you want it on CD, LP, or want some merch, it all ships for free today.)

Are you going to play these songs at some shows? — Yes!

We are celebrating with a release show in Columbus, Ohio with a seven-piece band at Rumba Cafe. It is on Saturday, April 13th and doors open at 5pm. We’re not night owls, so come join us for an early show, opened up by Chamber Brews.

We are also playing in Chicago on Saturday April 27th at Judson & Moore Distillery with Holy Joke and Marvin Stumbles.

After that, we’ll go to Germany to play a bunch of shows.

What comes next?

We’re lining up other shows after we return to Europe — reply to this email if you want us to come to where you live. And if you have any thoughts you’d like to share or questions that arise, send me a message through the website. I’d love to hear what you have to say

Wishing you well — I hope you get to see your family and friends this weekend (that is, if you want to see you family and friends).

Cheers,

Sam & Hello Emerson
