For their fifth full-length album, prominent indie-folksters The Lone Bellow teamed up with The National’s Aaron Dessner at his studio in upstate New York. “I want it to bring comfort,” the band’s Brian Elmquist said of the new album in a statement. “But it’s not all hard conversations. There’s a lot of light and some dancing that needs to happen.”

For this video, I had this vision of a figure skating routine, but we wanted to bring it a little closer to home. Instead of a poised athlete on ice, we hopped into a dirty old muscle car and while doing donuts in a field, we got to be Burt Renolds for a day! I’m so thankful I was finally able to reap some of the skills from my redneck upbringing.

The Lone Bellow’s second album is a real treat. Call it country; call it gospel-blues, call it rock, call it what you will because `Then Came The Morning’ manages to be all these and more without ever having to strain to be anything other than what it is, and what it is is damned fine music, sung and played with unadulterated passion.

There are thirteen numbers in the set; all as good as one another; not a wasted moment for the discerning listener. That’s a tough call in a World full of good stuff but this extraordinarily talented Brooklyn-based ensemble : Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey and Brian Elmquist, make it all seem so natural and magically inevitable.

Some of the songs sound as old as the hills; instant timeless classics fresh out of the mould. Take a composition like “Marietta’, where three voices intertwine with such unaffected pathos .Get an earful of the tumultuous `Heaven Don’t Call Me Home’ and see if it doesn’t make you want to holler along with them! `Cold As It Is’, too, has the kind rousing riff to make your knees tremble and the touching vocal from Ms Donehey on `Call To War’ will make your heart flutter. The gorgeous `Telluride’, however, is the album’s defining moment and still centre;
a song so beautiful it deserves to have a space of its own in a quiet corner of Heaven.
Take my word for it, `Then Came The Morning’ is one of the finest things you’ll hear this year.

The Brooklyn trio and friends performs “Then Came The Morning” on the David Letterman Show . We had the chance to play Late Show with David Letterman last night on the precipice of a winter storm that wasn’t. It was an incredible experience all around, from playing a TV show in our backyard, sharing the stage with amazingly talented musicians, and well, Dave gave us the horns.

This band, live, is incredible. They played Newport Folk Festival in 2013,  One of the best gigs I’ve heardon NPR radio. I will really miss Letterman promoting these non-mainstream acts such as Jason Isbell, The Lone Bellow, Trampled by Turtles and St. Paul and the Broken Bones. the Show features Blues, rock, gospel, country, folk -all of which the Lone Bellow does them all, on this record. Fresh melodies carry the same familiar flavor of their first release, and the same emotional lead vocals and delicate harmonies are just as present here. This band plays pure, raw music that comes from talented musicians and songwriters in a world where mainstream music is all over-produced,  Great sophomore record from an incredible band. I hope they continue to make music for many years.

Brooklyn folk-rockers the Lone Bellow worked with Aaron Dessner on their upcoming album “Then Came The Morning”, and some of the National’s dark elegance is present in “Fake Roses,” the second single they’ve shared from the project. The tune’s warm tones and steady pulse also hearken to Arcade Fire’s somber Funeral ballad “Une Année Sans Lumière” or Wilco’s “Via Chicago,” and there’s a weathered grace to the vocal, the sighing pedal steel and moody twilight atmospherics, the Lone Bellow have made a fantastic leap here, distancing themselves from a post Mumford hordes and proving that a class of stately indie rock is still capable of sounding fresh and vital.
