Midland have announced that their new album, Stages, is set for release on June 12 via Blue Highway Records.
The 10-track project, produced by Trent Willmon, includes the lead single "Marlboro Man," a collaboration with Clint Black on "Up In Texas," and a duet with Mackenzie Carpenter on "I Wish You Would".
In addition to the three tracks already released, Midland recently shared "Shooting Memories With Tequila."
The upcoming record is a celebration of the band's journey, road-worn experiences, and Texas/California country roots. The album is now available for pre-order and pre-save on their official website.
"We've gone so many places and done so many things," says Midland bassist/vocalist Cameron Duddy, "I think we've got to that place in the road where we wanted to pull it all together. The title is really a tribute to all the places where we've made our stand, but it's also about all the phases and stages we've been through to get here."
"And the more you dig into country's roots, the more there is to work with," adds the band's frontman Mark Wystrach. "We've always had real respect for the original Texas and California country, so this album lets us pull all that through the songs we've written and found to really focus on what matters to us."
"Nashville, Texas, California, everywhere in between; we've been in a pick-up, then a van and finally a bus - it's all in these songs," says guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson. "The road dust, sweat, music listened to, it all seeps into who we are and what we do."
