Their most ambitious album to date, 'White Lies \u0026amp; Melodies' pushes the boundaries of what a progressive folk-rock album can be. The result is an eclectic 12-track album that covers everything from traditional bluegrass and alt-country to rock and R\u0026amp;B. \"There was definitely a maturing that took place in the album's symbolism, its instrumentation and its production,\" says lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Nick Keeling. \"We didn't feel constrained by any style or genre for this one.\" The 2015 CMAA Golden Guitar Award winning band enlisted ARIA nominated producer Forrester Savell (Dead Letter Circus, Karnivool) to helm the recordings of their third studio album. \"We didn't want this album to sound like a regular country\/bluegrass album,\" explains bassist Josh Bridges. \"We generally approach our performances with a rock mentality, so Forrester being more of a rock\/prog producer let us approach recording with that same attitude.\" Along with the expanded sound featured on White Lies \u0026amp; Melodies comes the addition of a drummer for the first time in Mustered Courage's career. Explains Bridges, \"now that we have drums, we aren't constrained to just your standard train feels. Now we can play hip hop beats (\"Draw Five\"), swampy rocking Americana (\"Burning Bridges\") or indie sounding stuff (\"A Thousand Bullets\").\" Featuring on the album is Oklahoma-born and bred songstress Audra Mae (vocalist on Avicii's \"Addicted To You\") who lends her vocals to the track \"The Future\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56438580314486,"sku":"0602547494818","price":4.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1804581_1437634_jpg_5ee0f73e-d517-4fb5-a685-ce4354ee78d9.jpg?v=1760367529","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0602547494818-white-lies-melodies","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
