The Backseat Lovers
Aug 19, 2022
Salt Lake City-based indie band The Backseat Lovers make their major label debut with “Growing/Dying,” their first new music in over two years. The track is the first single from their new album, Waiting to Spill, which will be released on October 28th via Capitol Records. Tapping into one of the album’s broader themes, the journey into adulthood, the acoustic guitar-driven song reflects on how leaving elements of the past behind makes it possible to grow and flourish in new ways. The single art for “Growing/Dying” features a photograph by Tony Ehnle, whose film photographs from the 1970s weren’t widely seen until the band used one of his images on the cover of their debut album, When We Were Friends. The Backseat Lovers have selected another Ehnle photograph for the cover of Waiting to Spill. David Greenbaum (Paul McCartney, Beck, Cage the Elephant) produced and mixed the new album. Catch them live at Firefly and the Sea.Hear.Now Festival in September. Go here for more information and updates.
