The Revivalists have a lot going on right now, and all of it is worth paying attention to. The RIAA Multi-Platinum-certified New Orleans outfit has shared “Razorblades and Runways,” a bittersweet, soft-soul new single via Concord Records, and it’s one of the most personal things frontman David Shaw has put to tape. The track is out now, with the full album ‘Get It Honest’ arriving July 24.
Shaw doesn’t dress it up. “Looking back, I spent years chasing thrills fueled by ego,” he says. “Now I get to pursue my craft with the same passion, but instead the thing that drives me is my family, my wife, my daughter, my friends, and Ricky Peach, my cat who gets a nod in this tune.” That kind of specificity is exactly what makes “Razorblades and Runways” land the way it does, warm, reflective, and completely sincere.
The single follows “Heart Stop,” the album’s colossal opening track, currently sitting at number 21 on the Triple A radio chart. Co-written by Shaw with 3x Grammy-nominated New Orleans musician Andriu “Yàno” Yanovski and drummer PJ Howard, the track comes with a music video directed by Caroline Iaffaldano, shot entirely through a first-person-view helmet cam inside an iconic New Orleans shotgun house, featuring dancer Malerie Dempster.
‘Get It Honest’ is The Revivalists’ sixth studio album and their first all-new full-length in over 3 years. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Rich Costey (Vampire Weekend, Foo Fighters, Death Cab for Cutie) at Vermont’s Guilford Sound, the 12-track collection finds a band that has fully settled into who they are. With 7 of 8 members now fathers, the record is built around cutting loose what drags you down and holding tight to what keeps you going.
“To me, this album is about understanding this point and learning to work with it like a potter works the clay,” Shaw reflects. “Our flaws and imperfections are what ultimately make us human and beautiful.” Songs like “Lost and Found” and the title track carry that realization forward with real emotional weight.
The Get It Honest Tour launches July 14 with 2 sold-out nights at Nantucket’s Chicken Box and runs through November. Highlights include the “Opry 100” celebration at the Grand Ole Opry on May 22, a FIFA Fan Festival appearance in Vancouver on June 11, a record-release weekend headline set at David Shaw’s Big River Get Down on July 25, a run supporting The Red Clay Strays including Madison Square Garden on August 9, and their annual return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 25.
The band has also partnered with Concerted on an “honest ticket” program, offering free tickets to fans who complete 2 hours of community service. Additionally, The Revivalists are setting sail November 3-7 from Miami to Nassau aboard Norwegian Jewel for The Revivalists Present Otherside of Paradise at Sea. Vinyl pre-orders and pre-saves for ‘Get It Honest’ are live now at therevivalists.com.
