Tedeschi Trucks Band spent their first week of the new year teasing out new music with mysterious audio clips in hopes of building some anticipation around their first studio release since 2016’s Let Me Get By. It was already known that the rock band had a still-untitled album project in the works heading into the closing weeks of 2018, but it wasn’t until Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning that their release plans became a bit clearer. According to the announcement shared to their Facebook on Wednesday, the band’s next album will be titled SIGNS, and is scheduled to arrive next month on February 15th via Fantasy/Concord Records.

The band also announced early Wednesday that they plan on celebrating the arrival of Signs with a show at Brooklyn Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, February 20th.

The 11-track album was co-produced by TTB leader and guitarist Derek Trucks along with Jim Scott and Bobby Tis, and will include all original songs which were all recorded live on two-inch analog tape at their Swamp Raga Studio. TTB brethren Warren Haynes, Oliver Wood, Doyle Bramhall II, and Marc Quiñones also appear on the record. Some of the tracks to be included on the album are titled, “Strengthen What Remains”, “Still Your Mind”, “All The World”, and “Hard Case”. The latter was debuted as the album’s soulful lead single on Wednesday and can be heard in the audio-only video below.

“SIGNS reflects on the losses suffered by the band in the past few years while still finding cause for hope and celebration in the beauty of life and nature,” the band shared in a statement to their Facebook on Wednesday, dedicating the album to their friend and mentor Col Bruce Hampton (Ret.). Other losses include the recent deaths of TTB mentors like Leon Russell and Allman Brothers Band members Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman.

“It’s great to finally have it out, after recording it off and on over the last year and a half,” singer Susan Tedeschi also added to go with the premiere of “Hard Case” via NPR. “It’s time to turn it loose. We’re pretty excited to have our fans hear it, and to start playing it out live.”

In addition to the new album details, Tedeschi Trucks Band has added a series of dates to their spring calendar. The group will tour the west coast from May 10th through 25th, before heading back east for their “Wheels Of Soul” summer tour alongside Blackberry Smoke and Shovels & Rope.

These updates should be a silver lining for what’s been an interesting couple of weeks for the popular rock band. On Christmas Eve, the band announced that bassist Tim Lefebvre would be leaving the group. They also revealed a week later that keyboardist Kofi Burbridge will be taking time away from the band as a result of a recent follow-up procedure to a 2017 surgery, with Gabe Dixon coming on to fill the role until his return. On a lighter note, the band is also charging into the new year with their first-ever official fan community with the newly-established “Swamp Family” fan club.

Tickets for the album release show at Brooklyn Academy of Music go on sale this Friday, January 11th, at 12 p.m. ET. Every pair of tickets purchased for this show will come with a digital download of the new album.
