Critically acclaimed Nashville country rockers The Wild Feathers are back with their first new album in close to three years, Sirens, along with its organ-laced first single “Sanctuary.”
“‘Sanctuary’ is about standing up for yourself and not being the punching bag and safe place in a toxic relationship,” says The Wild Feathers co-founding singer/guitarist Ricky Young. “It kind of encourages you to remember your self-worth and to love yourself. You can love somebody so much that you forget who you really are and I think that’s a place where a lot of people find themselves. It’s good to love somebody, but you can’t stop being happy in the process.”
Sirens sees The Wild Feathers returning with the album they’ve been building towards since their foundation over a decade ago, a spirited collection of road-worn, sharply woven tales chronicling a life worth living, love worth holding, and the hard-earned lessons found along the ride. The follow-up to 2021’s Alvarado – the band’s much-lauded debut for New West Records – marks the band’s most sprawling, richly descriptive album thus far, channeling heartland rock excellence, old-school guitar riffs, rootsy jams, and heartfelt stories tailor-made for open-road therapy with windows down and speakers blaring.
Sirens is arriving via New West Records on Friday, October 4. Pre-orders are available now.
