“You are all that you got,” crops in two songs in the new Lumineers album.
It is the title of one of the heart stories and appears in the opening lines of other keys on the table.

The expression indicates a deep dependence on a member of his family – with a hint of weakness, and even despair.
It resonates clearly with the main band members, Wesley Schultz (lead singing, guitar) and criminality Freust (drums, rhythm, keyboards).
Therefore, on one level, it comes to people closest to them – and most importantly, their partners and young children.
But it also represents the feelings that the husband keeps each other through thick and gentle, describing it as a “paid journey for 20 years.”

“This relationship gave all of us everything,” Fraites admitted. “You are all that you got,” is an exaggerated way to look at it.
“I am sure there are days when I hope we can go out and get a sandwich without feeling any tension or responsibility.
“We both have friends in our lives for that, but I have never written songs with them that changed my life.”
The more open number of Schultz add: “We know that we need each other to achieve the best in things. We are better together!”
In the fifth studio record, automatic, the blame peel the cortex for the most spontaneous and spontaneous music in their career.
For Woodstock in New York State, their favorite place to make records, they partially took a braid from The Beatles’ Get Back, which highlighted the free Fab Four creative process.
“They watched them were working together as joy,” says Schultz. “They had a strange alchemy.”
Lumin was also inspired by participating in a music movie celebrating the Bruce Springsteen Album, the Nebraska, which they made a palace on the hill and the state.
“In Nebraska, everything is a little disarmament. You are thinking,” Schultzstin is just Springstin in a room. “
“For this album, we did not make a lot of illustrations, regardless of very primitive drawings. We have just relied on the intestine instinct.”
To clarify his teammate’s point, Fraites remember the creation of the same old song, Automatic’s Extress Extress Rave-UP.
And he noticed because of his innovative beats, he says: “We started working on it late afternoon. Some taps have done on the ground and turned this sound into a ring – a very dedicated pumpkin!”
Schultz laughs at memory and says: “He was wild, like throwing paint on the wall.”
“It is somewhat similar to Jackson Bullock’s voice,” Freteis continues, referring to the artist who loved to spray Qahshi.
“So we had this very basic thing, then put the vocal guitar and singing and went crazy on the Keith moon [The Who] Or John Bonham [Led Zeppelin] Type of road.
“The reactions of the boys were in the control room,” that was great, doing another like this! “.
For this unclean pair, the automatic 11 route symbolizes the power of the unbreakable bond.
It is also older artists who have a different group of priorities since they became fathers.
“These days, we have an easier time to say” no “because we do not want to miss the gift of having children,” says Schultz.
“When you start as an artist, you have to say” Yes “to everything literally, if you want to do this.
It is not about to be better – it is only about this thing. About 20 years have passed, it is about thousands of hours together.

“Now there is a natural boundary line in the sand. You can develop the spine if you don’t have to really one.”
Although they live on separate continents – Schultz in Denver, Colorado and Fritz in Turin, Italy – sparks fly when they meet in the studio and on the stage.
With songs such as HO HOW, Loveborn Love, Ophelia and Cleopatra, their bustling brand in Americana has captured its fans the size of the scene all over the world-but they still take nothing for it.
One look at Schultz, 42, with his flowing locks, full beard and frits, 39, with his arches and a hook of pork, you thought some balcony in the American background would be a suitable place to hang out with them.
But I joined them in a fairly inconsistent environment for the hotel conference hall, with a roar in central London provides noise in the background of our chat.
Later that day, they play an intimate audio party at Hogon Hall, and they are scheduled to return with their roaming band in May in a series of UK’s dates, including one at Awara’s O2 Arena.
Despite their self -denying charm, Schultz and Ferialis recognize the special chemistry that led them to succeed.
“Je Nea Sais Quoi” is with me, Woe, “
“Give the same piano part to a hundred pianists and some of them will erase the land with me,” decides.
“But it is not about improvement – it’s only about this thing. It has been about 20 years, it’s about thousands of hours together.”
“I wish to look very negative,” Schultz says, preferring to maintain the Lumineers record between him and Fraites.
It is considered a partnership partnership “a unique honor badge” and a reason to avoid inputs from other artists.
“A little humor”
“If we want to record a record with Jack Antonov [Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey]”You somewhat hear in the registry,” says Schultz.
“He got an instinct for what he loves, but I feel that if we overcome our instincts, we will lose something.
“If we want it to look like us, it must come from us – from within the four walls we work in.”
For lumineers, this also means avoiding the familiar pitfalls “such as employing an orchestra simply because you ran out of ideas.”
The couple gives a lot of credit for their product at Utopia Studio in Woodstock, David Baron.
He installed the place with ancient and advanced equipment with the spirit of the Pyteles Sonic stadium, Abbey Road, to create a “live room” for Schultz and Fraites to give up any restrictions.
Like many songs on the spontaneous spontaneous plastimine, it revolves around the movement of the modern world.
In this case, the entertainment industry focuses on sharp because it wondering about the motives of some artists.
“If you do everything in your strength just to become bigger, to be more famous, you are the easiest goal to benefit from,” says Schultz.
“This means that the industry will take everything in your power and drop you at the moment you are no longer used.”
It should be noted that plasticin does not become very heavy and comes with a little fun and humor.
It even includes an audio clip from when Harry Sally met, although it was not the scene of the symbolic orgasm of Mig Ryan.
“We had a friend in the studio, Nick Bell, and we told him,” We need some joke in the background, “says Schultz.
“It is really in the films and returned with Billy Crystal, saying:” What does the song mean? “When he was listening to people singing Syne. It’s perfect.”
Another song about life in the twenty -first century is the best day led by the piano, and it is a show of clear Sweet Sweet songs.
How many times do you go to a room where their phones are passed?
Jeremiah Ferialis
“I felt that all of my friends were watching porn and elegance,” he says. “We are in a strange era, in the song, I dream of a better day.”
Fraites picks on the line, “The blue lights keep red eyes awake.”
He says: “This is our entire world in short.” “How often do you go to a room – even in a family gathering – where people pass their phones?
“On Christmas or Thanksgiving in the United States, people used to have a conversation – now it is socially acceptable to be checked for 45 minutes. It is very brutal.”
Schultz concludes that the best day “is” is a dark aura, but it is not completely sad. Something about it feels after the horrific. “
This leads us to what the singer calls a “strange love song”, ATIVAN, which was called the name of a brand of Lorazepam anti -anxiety drugs.
“Jerry has sent me this beautiful melody. Schultz says:” I loved it, but I felt that he could turn into a thousand other love songs I have already heard. “
“Atfan stopped him in the illustration, so I thought,” Is it not interesting to write a love song from the perspective of the drug-a sales stadium from it to the potential user? “.
“For me, it has become wrong about how to reduce us in today’s world, and we fail our feelings.”
The real highlight of the automatic is the fool, and it is of more personal nature and should not be taken literally.
“This indicates to me! My wife thinks that I may be on the spectrum or something like this,” Schultz confirms.
“I could be a bit reserved or isolated when I met people. I thought myself describing my fool was a unique confession to put it in a song.
“When I was out of the Walkworkshopping words, sang it myself and made me laugh loudly. This album has moments of real fun. Maybe our other albums have taken themselves more seriously.”
He says that the first few lines indicate a time when he and his partner were “he was not dating, just joking.”
“She ignited the wrong end of her cigarettes, and this is why I knew she loved me – she was feeling nervous.”
Waking up calling
The album is signed with the rich atmosphere, with a suitable title.
It provides majestic music in the middle of the rhythm for five minutes of music, a slightly exit process for Lumineers.
“Yes, it is a bit similar to the coma,” says Schultz, who looks like his songs on Bob Dylan Sami’s album in 1997, Time of his album.
“This was my upper album on Spotify last year, and I just wore it during our automatic recording.
“I hit a lot of Dylan’s songs, and you hold you there, almost intending you. War on drugs and Bon Ever do so well too.”
Schultz draws attention to the fact that the album has long ended the album, “Maybe we will be famous when we die.”
He loves Andy Warhol’s assertion that everyone has 15 minutes of his fame, but he adds: “It is like 15 seconds these days, as people create a viral moments on Tiktok.”
After spending some time with them, diving in their album, I suggest to Schultz and Prit that there is a clear concept for him.
The first says: “It was not intentionally.” “I just went out.
“Our children are not in the era when they experience all these things yet, but they will be quickly. Wow! How will they move everything?
“I recently bought a light phone. There are no colors on the screen and you can only make calls and texts.
“I was very stripped and I was like,” How compassionate I need to buy something like this? “.
To borrow the title of the classic REM album, make the Lumineers automatically for people. It is an invitation to wake up.
