Thrilled at breaking new songwriting ground, Fraites and Schultz reached out to Woodstock, NY-based producer/songwriter/keyboardist David Baron who outfitted Woodstock's Utopia studio like the legendary Abbey Road facility, installing both vintage and cutting-edge gear. In a capacious "live room," the musicians could perform songs as a unit, leaving fewer opportunities to fix mistakes, or refine the sound. While songs reveal a risky intimacy and heretofore untapped undercurrent of humor, Automatic remains very much what fans around the world have come to love about The Lumineers - shadowy themes wrapped in upbeat, infectious melodies, sky-high choruses destined to be sung by thousands, and what Fraites calls "a palpable sense of connection between Wes and me. There's lots of love on this record. I can't wait to tour behind it." -180g vinyl on wave break wax -gatefold jacket with lyrics -digital download included
