Sarah Shook & the Disarmers have announced their new album Revelations will drop on March 29th via Abeyance Records/Thirty Tigers (Lo Moon). The album features
stories, self-produced by bandleader River Shook (they/them) for the very first time, navigating mental health under the confines of capitalism, celebrating gay love and complicated feelings, and working through lifelong struggles of substance abuse and unhealthy relationships.

From River Shook:

“A lot of artists are in this industry for fame, recognition, and money but those things don’t mean anything to me. Songwriting is it for me. It’s the only real healthy coping mechanism I’ve ever had. It’s life-saving, and all of my writing is autobiographical. I write everything based on my observations and experiences, but there was something about Revelations that felt more personal to me. I unlocked this level of honesty with myself and an ability to be more objective about the things I struggle with daily. I’m a firm believer that if you are an artist, and you want to make better art, a big part of that isn’t just exercising your musical skills, it’s growing as a human being. So every time I make a record, I want to be able to listen to it and look back on who I was then. I want to see this arc and this evolution. That’s really fucking important to me.”

Sarah Shook & the Disarmers will begin performing the music of Revelations across the country, with a winter and spring tour spanning dozens of dates. Stopsinclude hometown shows in North Carolina, a return to Nashville.
