Big Red Machine had a busy week, releasing album opener and lead single “Latter Days,” featuring Anais Mitchell, on Tuesday alongside a music video and “The Ghost of Cincinnati” on Wednesday. “With everyone that’s on this record, there’s an openness, a creative generosity and an emotional quality that connects it all together,” Dessner said in a press release of the collaborators on the album, which also includes Fleet Foxes and Sharon Van Etten.
The 15-song album, due Aug. 27 through Jagjaguwar/37d03d, was produced by Dessner at his Long Pond studio in upstate New York — the same location of Swift’s Disney+ documentary Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.
