Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) has announced the release of a new solo album, Always Been. Produced by Adam Granduciel (The War On Drugs) at his studio in Burbank, CA, the collection features musical performances by Granduciel and other members of The War on Drugs, as well as guest vocals by Kathleen Edwards and Sam Fender.
Always Been marks the sixth LP in a solo discography that sits alongside Finn’s work as frontman and vocalist of The Hold Steady – is previewed by the new single, “People of Substance,” which you can stream below.
“I believe this to be the most narrative record I have made,” says Craig Finn. “Most songs concern a protagonist who pursued a career as a clergyman despite a lack of faith. The record tells the story of his rise and fall and redemption, while also filling out the details of his travels and the world in which he lives. I am very proud of what we made, I hope you enjoy.”
Always Been is available via Tamarac Recordings/Thirty Tigers on Friday, April 4, with pre-orders available now.
