Alternative rock veterans Soul Asylum have announced a new album, Slowly But Shirley. While there’s no word yet on when exactly fans can expect the record, the band has shared the single “High Road” to hold them over until its release sometime this fall. Stream the new track below.
Slowly But Shirley marks the 13th studio album from the Minneapolis band, following 2020’s Hurry Up and Wait. Recording sessions for the new songs took place in their hometown with producer Steve Jordan, who also helmed their 1990 release And the Horse They Road In On.
As the lead single, “High Road” reintroduces the band as bright, punk-adjacent, indie-loving rockers. At three minutes and change, it’s a sweet and energetic listen sure to please fans of their ’80s and ’90s material.
Soul Asylum are about to launch a tour with Stone Temple Pilots, followed by a run of dates with The Juliana Hatfield Three. Grab tickets to one of their 2024 shows here.
