Rival Sons share haunting new song

From Louder Sound.

Rival Sons have released a video for the title track of their new album, Feral Roots. The album, the band’s sixth, is the follow-up to 2016’s Hollow Bones.The tracks starts with a haunting acoustic section before kicking up a gear into full, Zeppelin-esque splendour.

The release follows the launch of Do Your Worst in September, and Back In The Woods in November.

“That song is one of my favourite collaborations that Scott [Holiday, guitarist] and I have ever done,” singer Jay Buchanan tells Billboard. “I had written the verses and the chord changes and these lyrics and I showed it to him, and Scott knows I’m very much into Appalachian melodies and the dark side of bluegrass and the mountain side of country music.

“He immediately goes, ‘Yeah, man, I totally get it.’ At one point later I called him and said, ‘Look man, this is a little too Appalachian-style and I think it needs some fuzz and that collective identity,’ and he didn’t skip a beat. It all fit like a glove, and it was a great creative flashpoint to witness.”

The album was produced by longtime collaborator Dave Cobb at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, and at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Feral Roots is the band’s major label debut, having signed a deal with Atlantic Records imprint Low Country Sound.

Feral Roots will be released on January 25, and is available to pre-order now, while limited edition packages are available from the band’s website.

The band’s 2019 European Tour will kick off in Newcastle on January 31 (full dates below). Tickets are on sale now.
