Gregory Alan Isakov’s highly anticipated new album, Evening Machines, will be released October 5. In advance of the release—his first in partnership with Dualtone Records—the album’s first single, “Chemicals,” can be heard below.
Recorded at a converted barn studio located on Isakov’s three-acre farm in Boulder County, CO, the thirteen-track album was self-produced and mixed by Tucker Martine (Neko Case, The Decemberists) and Andrew Berlin (Descendents, Rise Against).
Of the record—his fourth full-length studio album and first in five years—Isakov comments, “I’d work really hard into the night. A lot of times I would find myself in the light of all these VU meters and the tape machine glow, so that’s where the title came from. I recorded mostly at night, when I wasn’t working in the gardens. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, morning or afternoon, this music always feels like evening to me.”
In celebration of the album, Isakov will embark on an extensive worldwide tour this autumn – including a sold-out return headline show at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 30 with special guest Patty Griffin – and UK / Ireland shows that include a headline at London’s 02 Shepherds Bush Empire.
The new album follows Isakov’s acclaimed collaboration with the Colorado Symphony, 2016’s Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony, which featured orchestral versions of twelve of Isakov’s beloved songs. Read our interview with Gregory about that album here.
