Family Of The Year Release New Track LET HER GO From Upcoming Album GOODBYE SUNSHINE, HELLO NIGHTTIME  Image

Critically acclaimed LA-based indie rock outfit Family of the Year has released "Let Her Go," the latest track from the band's highly-anticipated new album Goodbye Sunshine, Hello Nighttime, out May 18 on Reprise Records. With stunning acoustic melodies, the new song follows recent single, "Hold Me Down,"offering an initial taste of the band's most hypnotic and heartfelt body of work to date. They most recently performed an intimate, stripped-back rendition of "Let Her Go" for Flood Magazine, who praises that the band "packed ten years of American prepubescence into just three minutes." Goodbye Sunshine, Hello Nighttime is now available for pre-order now!

Produced by Greg Wells (Adele, Dua Lipa, The Greatest Showman), the forthcoming 12-track album is earmarked by heartfelt introspective storytelling and rich instrumentality that is awash in dreamy hummable harmonies and robust percussion. The last few years would prove simultaneously maddening, marvelous, and ultimately majestic for Family of the Year. As a result, the new record represents a newfound creative clarity for the quartet, going deeper than before. The band has been performing acoustic sessions in the months leading up to album release, including Jam In The Van which was taped last month at YouTube Space LA.

Family Of The Year-Joe [vocals, guitar] & Sebastian Keefe [drums, vocals], James Buckey [guitar, vocals], and Christina Schroeter [keyboards, vocals]-quietly captivate with a combination of idyllic instrumentation and emotional storytelling. Their breakout hit, "Hero," has accumulated over 200 million streams since earning a prominent sync in the Academy® Award-nominated and Golden Globe® Award-winning drama, Boyhood. The group has earned praise from USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Interview Magazine, and Paste in addition to performing on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Conan, and more. Since forming in 2009, they have toured with Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, Imagine Dragons, Walk The Moon, Fun., Grouplove, among others.
