Alabama Shakes have announced a new album called I Must Be Dreaming.
The record is due out Aug. 28. It marks the "Hold On" outfit's third full-length effort and their first in over 10 years.
"There's a double meaning to it," frontwoman Brittany Howard says of the I Must Be Dreaming title. "It could be saying, 'I must be dreaming, because the world is so f****** crazy right now.' But it could also mean, 'I must be dreaming, because the world is so incredibly beautiful.' Both those things can be true at once."
I Must Be Dreaming includes the previously released songs "Another Life" and "American Dream." A third cut, titled "I Feel Hope Coming," will premiere Friday.
Alabama Shakes released two albums, 2012's Boys & Girls and 2015's Sound & Color, before going on hiatus in 2018. They got back together at the end of 2024 for a surprise show before officially announcing their reunion.
Alabama Shakes will launch a U.S. tour July 24 in Tacoma, Washington.
Here's the I Must Be Dreaming track list:
"Tea Time"
"Another Life"
"Garden"
"I Feel Hope Coming"
"Time"
"Friends"
"Easy"
"How Love's Supposed to Go"
"Waist Deep"
"American Dream"
"Tied to You"
