The Lumineers have announced that they will release their third studio album, III, on Sept. 13 via Dualtone (Decca internationally) and have shared the first single from the effort, "Gloria."
Produced by Simon Felice, the album is the band's first without former vocalist/cellist Neyla Pekarek—who parted ways with the group last year to pursue a solo career—and features new full-time vocalist/violinist Lauren Jacobson, who also helped out on The Lumineers first two records.
III as a whole leans on the concept of a fictitious family called the Sparks, with each of the album's three parts focusing on a different member of the clan. "This collection of songs worked out in a beautiful way," says Jeremiah Fraites, multi-instrumentalist and one of the band's two main songwriters, "and I feel with this album we've really hit our stride."
