REVIEW: The Lumineers – Automatic

On Valentine’s Day, the folk-pop band, The Lumineers, led by the duo of Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites, released their highly-anticipated fifth album, Automatic, via Dualtone Records.

From the thumping album opener, “Same Old Song” with its soaring refrain to the piano-led title track, Schultz and Fraites once again showcase their expert ability to craft emotion and capture feeling in their songwriting.  The album - co-produced by David Baron and Simone Felice – is highlighted by standout single, “You’re All I Got” with its instantly catchy and familiar chorus, along with “Plasticine” and its chiming, psychedelic atmospherics and the melancholic yet anthemic “Keys On The Table”, which circles around with a callback of the catchy hook from “You’re All I Got”.

After 20 years as a band, The Lumineers – pioneers of the 2010’s folk revival - prove with their new album, Automatic, that they remain at the top of their game.
