Craig Finn has announced his new LP Always Been, will drop on April 4th via Tamarac Recordings/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Adam Granduciel (The War On Drugs) at his studio in Burbank, CA and mixed by Jonathan Low (Taylor Swift, The National, Maya Hawk), the collection features musical performances by Granduciel and other members of The War on Drugs, as well as guest vocals by Kathleen Edwards and Sam Fender. Always Been – which marks the sixth LP in a solo discography that sits alongside Finn’s work as frontman and vocalist of The Hold Steady. Ahead of the release, Finn has shared “People of Substance.”

“I believe this to be the most narrative record I have made,” says Craig Finn. “Most songs concern a protagonist who pursued a career as a clergyman despite a lack of faith. The record tells the story of his rise and fall and redemption, while also filling out the details of his travels and the world in which he lives. I am very proud of what we made, I hope you enjoy.”

Finn will be touring behind the new album, as special guest supporting Bob Mould from April 1 at San Diego, CA’s Music Box through Milwaukee, WI’s Turner Hall.
