"The most captivating rock act touring today" (Rolling Stone)
By harmonizing the well written songs of three distinct frontmen with a progressive combo of rock and roll, electrified folk, and cosmic American roots music, Futurebirds have cooked up an expansive sound. With Easy Company, Futurebirds' highly anticipated fifth studio album on the horizon, that sound reaches a new peak. The album boasts four songs separately from the talented singer/songwriters Womack, Johnson, and Carter King. Easy Company is a celebration of the tight-knit bonds that have kept Futurebirds strong since 2008. Back then, the frontmen were college students at the University of Georgia, building a fanbase around town with performances at fraternity houses and local bars. Along the way, they've become headliners at major venues like The Ryman and The Fillmore. This talented trio has even collaborated with fellow genre benders like My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel. Recorded and produced by Brad Cook, the guest list for Easy Company includes Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield, who trades verses with Carter King on the record’s title track, and Drive-By Truckers co-founder Patterson, who serves up a spoken-word monologue during the awesome song "Soft Drugs."
Futurebirds kickstarted the production of Easy Company with a solid week's worth of live-in-the-studio performances. For a group of road veterans who'd already clocked thousands of hours onstage, this was an opportunity to capture the high energy of a Futurebirds show — the same show that propelled Rolling Stone to hail the band as "the most captivating rock act touring today" — on tape. "People sometimes see us live and say, 'It sounds so energetic, big, and full onstage, but some of your earlier records don't really capture that,'" Carter King explains. "That was something we talked to Brad Cook about. We wanted to find that live magic in the recording studio. We wanted to move fast and stay in the moment."
