Jake Xerxes Fussell has today shared “Rolling Mills Are Burning Down,” the fourth and final single off taken from his forthcoming album, Good and Green Again, out January 21st on Paradise of Bachelors. The album was produced by James Elkington who also adds piano here.
Spacious and airy, the gentle opening sequence of guitar and piano sympathetically leads you in to Fussell’s serene rolling vocals as he sings “And them rolling mills are burning down // down to the ground // and they’ll never build them back anymore.”
We will have more on the album for you soon, but in the meantime, just sit back and enjoy “Rolling Mills Are Burning Down”, which is also our Song of the Day.
For Good and Green Again features a great lineup including regulars Casey Toll (Mt. Moriah, Nathan Bowles) on upright bass, Libby Rodenbough (Mipso) on strings, and Nathan Golub on pedal steel. They were joined by welcome newcomers Joe Westerlund (Megafaun, Califone) on drums, Joseph Decosimo on fiddle, Anna Jacobson on brass, and Bonnie “Prince” Billy, who contributes additional vocals.
