Alabama ShakesI Must Be (Indie Excluvie Yellow Vinyl) Vinyl LP

I Must Be Dreaming is the first new album from Alabama Shakes in more than a decade. The album expands on 2015’s album Sound & Color’s unfettered exploration, leaning toward a viscerally charged form of psychedelic soul—a perfect backdrop to their prismatic meditations on time and mortality, love in its many forms, and the increasingly surreal dissonance of modern life.

Produced by Alabama Shakes and their repeat collaborator Shawn Everett, I Must Be Dreaming came to life at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios and Blackbird Studio. While the album sustains their signature intensity, its songs often wander into more lush and otherworldly terrain, revealing a more exacting command of atmosphere and space.
