Aside from the obvious nature of the new album, it’s a complete restart for the live music industry. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frog Pad Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476105498955,"sku":"1144346","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cdc8be69-acf3-4178-ab50-84a675b6d9f1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727454288"},{"product_id":"nowhere-next-3","title":"Nowhere Next","description":"\u003cp\u003eYonder Mountain String Band’s new album, \u003ci\u003eNowhere Next\u003c\/i\u003e, masterfully blends a multitude of stylistic impulses into a cohesive and seamless musical statement. This exploration showcases their roots in bluegrass while venturing into diverse musical territories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with “The Truth Fits,” setting the tone with a message of independence and self-discovery. “Cruisin’' then subtly shifts away from initial certainties, embodying a sense of confusion and the quest to “find a way through,” reflecting one of Yonder’s core themes. In 'Here I Go,' the band confronts the ambiguity of growth versus failure, departing from traditional bluegrass with an instrumental bridge and solos, featuring Jerry Douglas offering an improvisational answer to the song’s central question. “Didn’t Go Wrong” delivers a sonic uplift, blending old country lyricism with modern jam band elements to celebrate new love, transcending typical “cheating song” narratives. The title track, “ Nowhere Next,” centers the album. It’s the middle of the compass with all cardinal points possible, alley ways, hotel stairs, and the traps we find ourselves in. “Leave the Midwest” captures an introspective moment of revisiting one's past and reckoning with the present of where we tell ourselves we’re ok with where we’ve landed. “Second Hand Smoke” continues this theme, making a distinction between authenticity and pretense, while “Come See Me” offers a straightforward bluegrass tune that invites listeners to join in the journey of music, travel, and time. “Outlaw” celebrates unexpected positive changes and “Wasting Time” offers a humorous take on self-reflection and resignation. The album concludes with “River”, a serene and reflective piece, that embraces a peaceful mindset and a “lovely day.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNowhere Next\u003c\/i\u003e Yonder Mountain String Band takes listeners on a rich journey through diverse musical landscapes and personal introspection, ultimately revealing that the journey itself holds as many destinations as we can imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frog Pad Records","offers":[{"title":"Green LP","offer_id":50783993069899,"sku":"2228337","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50783992611147,"sku":"2228334","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_9ea7ce3e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1731070617"},{"product_id":"good-as-true-xy","title":"Good As True","description":"\u003cp\u003eGood As True (2026), the 12th studio album from Yonder Mountain String Band, leans into a warm, expressive sound — bluegrass shaped with an indie edge, rock undertones, and a hint of country. Recorded live in the studio, its eight original tracks trace romantic, personal, and societal relationships and the work it takes to stay connected. The lead single “Brand New Heartache” pairs rock-driven verses with a bluegrass-lifted chorus as it follows the fallout of a breakup and the uneasy hope of starting again, while “Blind” opens with a striking instrumental riff that lingers long after the song ends, while its lyrics confront regret, mental health struggles, and the pull to become something better. “Long Ride” delivers a sharp, sarcastic look at life in a touring band; “Nothing New” and “The Lie” confront political rigidity and division; “One to One Another” and “Always Almost” pull toward quieter emotional corners; and “Barroom Feather” drifts into indie-folk terrain with one of the album’s most atmospheric jams. Across Good As True, Yonder moves between high-tempo runs, layered harmonies, and moments that breathe — a reminder that nearly three decades in, they’re still charting new ground.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frog Pad Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56710760464715,"sku":"R2243-1036","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Brown","offer_id":56710760497483,"sku":"R2243-6179","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_12be3c9e-1507-4201-a90d-639a1003d0a0.jpg?v=1772808836"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/yonder-mountain-string-band.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
