The album comes three years after their Grammy-nominated debut record, Girls & Boys.
“We took our time to write this record, and I’m really glad we did,” says frontwoman Brittany Howard in a statement. “We were able to sit down and think about what’s exciting to us, explore all the things we wanted to on our first album. This record is full of genre-bending songs—it’s even harder now when people ask, ‘What kind of band are you?’ I have no clue.”
You can preorder the album here, or stream it through NPR.
