The new Futurebirds album "Hotel Parties" is slated for release 9/25, and the band premiered the first track off the album today.

Listen to "twentyseven" by Futurebirds.

quote:

Futurebirds’ new album, aptly titled Hotel Parties, revolves around balancing these two lives, trying to keep one from destroying the other — sometimes unsuccessfully. The album isn’t out until September, but today we premiere “twentyseven,” a gleaming, Southern-fried late-twenties-crisis type of song. The music is very chill, contrasting heavily with its subject matter, but perfect for a drive through rural nowhere with your arm swaying out the window


I've listened to this one song on repeat a few times in a row so far, and I'm digging it.

The Futurebirds are a personal favorite of mine from when I was at LSU and catching them at Chelsea's. I've seen them a handful of times, and I've enjoyed every show. If you have a chance to check them out, do it.

Going to school in Athens I'm quite familiar with them. Have seen them a number of times.

Still, their music isn't something I regularly find myself playing, but I do like it from time to time.

I love the Futurebirds...I think losing their original drummer (name has escaped me) hurts them a little. If nothing more than in the vocal dept.

Either way, they're still a lot of fun, as long as they aren't playing shite faced (which is quite often)

Lucky hog. I missed them when they were doing a SXSW set in ATX, and they're not coming back this way this tour.
