Soul Asylum – Hurry Up And Wait 2020

Coming Soon

The new album! – According to vocalist/guitarist Dave Pirner, making Soul Asylum’s twelfth studio fulllength, Hurry Up And Wait, was a completely seamless, enjoyable and productive experience. Coproduced with John Fields – and recorded at Minneapolis’ Nicollet Studios, the same place where the celebrated rock band recorded seminal early albums released on Twin/Tone Records – the album reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach. Lyrically, the songs dive into topics such as grappling with emotional and geographic disconnection, navigating romantic ebbs and flows, and the power of embracing optimism despite it all. Sonically, Hurry Up And Wait features thrashing songs indebted to punk (“Hopped Up Feelin’”) and classic rock (“Got It Pretty Good”), folk-influenced pop-rock (“Silly Things”), and gorgeous janglepop (lead single “If I Told You”).
