Futurebirds just raised the stakes. Nearly two decades into one of indie country-rock’s most rewarding careers, the Athens, GA-born outfit announce ‘Far Out Country’, their first double album, due June 5 via Dualtone Records. Produced by GRAMMY-winner Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman), the 18-song record splits into two distinct halves, a sunlit “day” and a deeper, more interior “night,” blurring psychedelic country-rock, indie, and something that feels less like a genre than a physical place.
The band today released the Sienna Life EP featuring three tracks from ‘Far Out Country I’: “Sienna Life,” “Sleepless in the Cage,” and “Ghost Moon.” It’s an opening statement that holds real weight, three songs that confirm Futurebirds are operating at a level that demands attention.
In a bold physical-first move, the complete double album arrives on vinyl June 5, with the second half reaching streaming platforms months later. The only way to hear ‘Far Out Country’ in full from day one is on vinyl. Half the record was tracked live to tape at Sonic Ranch in the Texas borderlands; the other nine songs were built carefully in smaller studios, four produced by the band’s own Tom Myers.
Fronted by three distinct singer-songwriters, Daniel “Womz” Womack, Carter King, and Thomas “Tojo” Johnson, Futurebirds write in honest conversation across 18 songs about fatherhood, family, and navigating the tension between the road that made them and the lives waiting back home. Carter King sums it up well: “Far Out Country is a place, not a sound.”
A massive nationwide tour runs from April through November. Tickets are on sale now.
