Generationals are finally back. The project of Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner, return with their new album, Heatherhead, on June 2nd via Polyvinyl. Along with the duo’s album announcement, Generationals has released “Dirt Diamond,” the album’s debut single, along with a video by POND Creative (Soccer Mommy, TOLEDO).

Having previously worked with the great Richard Swift (RIP), the New Orleans-born duo this time teamed up Nick Krill (The War on Drugs, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Spinto Band), and welcomed in collaborators including Small Black, Seth Kaufman (Floating Action) and Jonny Campos (Lost Bayou Ramblers) among others – even a wrong number voicemail, sampled on “Strangers.”

Heatherhead is the result of a restart. After scrapping sessions that sounded great but weren’t exciting and true to them, instead of reinventing their approach to chase a fanciful trend, they found a better understanding of their identity and sound than ever before. When a severe storm ripped through Widmer’s front yard and left them without power for days during recording, the two just sat together, drinking warm beer and listening to an emergency radio.
