Grammy-winning Rock band Greta Van Fleet has published a brand new track, “Farewell For Now“. It is the latest song to be unveiled from the band’s upcoming third studio album “Starcatcher” due out on July 21, 2023 on Lava/Republic/EMI. Stream the track through the YouTube player below:
“Starcatcher” was written and recorded by the band â lead singer Josh Kizska, guitarist Jake Kizska, bassist/keyboardist Sam Kizska and drummer Danny Wagner â alongside Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile). Recorded at the legendary RCA Studios in Nashville, the band utilized the large recording room to capture the pure energy of their world-renowned live performances.
“We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual,” Jake says. “If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.“
Throughout the 10-song collection the band explores the duality of fantasy versus reality and the contrast between light and darkness. “We had this idea that we wanted to tell these stories to build a universe,” says Wagner. “We wanted to introduce characters and motifs and these ideas that would come about here and there throughout our careers through this world.”
Greta Van Fleet took multiple concepts from critically acclaimed second album “The Battle At Garden’s Gate” and brought them into “Starcatcher,” although Sam‘s take on the new record’s big ideas hint instead at new beginnings.
“When I imagine the world of ‘Starcatcher’, I think of the cosmos,” he says. “It makes me ask a lot of questions, like ‘Where did we come from?’ or ‘What are we doing here?’ But it’s also questions like, ‘What is this consciousness that we have, and where did it come from?’“
Greta Van Fleet is best known for its renowned live performances, selling over one million tickets worldwide. They sold out their entire 2022 arena tour, holding a special energy between them and their devoted fans. With “Starcatcher” the band aims to capture that energy in the recording studio.
“Starcatcher” follows Greta Van Fleet‘s album “The Battle At Garden’s Gate,” released in 2021 to extensive chart and critical success. In the US, the album debuted at No. 1 Billboard Rock Album, No. 1 Billboard Hard Rock Album, No. 1 Billboard Vinyl Album, No. 2 Billboard Top Album Sales and in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. It was a Top 10 album in the U.K. and a major hit around the world.
Greta Van Fleet‘s debut LP, “Anthem Of The Peaceful Army,” was released in 2018 to countless accolades including No. 1 Billboard Rock Album and Top 3 on the Billboard 200. Their “From The Fires” EP, released in 2017, won “Best Rock Album” at the 61st Grammy Awards.
Formed in Frankenmuth, Michigan in 2012, Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers â vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka â as well as drummer Danny Wagner. Together they have performed across multiple continents and sold over 3.5 million records worldwide.
