Nashville’s beloved alt-folk duo Judah & the Lion release "New Tattoo,” a rock-tinged track that explores the allure of denial and the transformative power of embracing change. “New Tattoo” marks the third release from their deluxe edition of The Process, set to drop on September 5.
The band on the release of this deluxe track: “New Tattoo” highlights the difficulty of coping with deeply ingrained habits and emotions. We can try to distract and numb ourselves with reckless behavior, but the emotional weight of the past cannot be outrun or covered up. It’s easy to get caught up in denial, but we have to accept that change is challenging and it is the only path forward to find true healing.”
The Process draws heavily from lead singer Judah Akers' personal experiences and struggles, mirroring psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. With interludes punctuating song suites dedicated to each stage, The Process offers a deeply introspective and cathartic musical journey.
Judah & the Lion have also announced The Process Tour - the 17-city tour kicks off on October 4 at The Tulsa Theater in Tulsa making stops across the U.S. in Denver, Boston, Philadelphia and more before wrapping up in Nashville at Nashville Municipal Auditorium on October 26. Tickets are available HERE.
Since their 2012 debut EP, Judah & the Lion have earned widespread acclaim for their genre-bending music, received Platinum/Gold certifications, amassed over one billion career streams and sold over 500 million tickets. Six of their hit singles have gone Top 15 on Alternative radio and the band won an iHeart Music Award for Best New Alt Rock Band of 2018. The Process is the follow-up to 2022’s Revival, which hometown paper The Tennessean praised as “The sound features synths, catchy mandolin licks and powerful vocals that act as a vector for "The Process," a through-between that elevates it beyond a typical indie-alternative pop album.”
