Video: The Lumineers Share Music Video for 'Automatic'

The Lumineers have shared the official music video for the title track from their recently released album Automatic. The video was directed by filmmaker Anaïs LaRocca (Hundred Waters).

Automatic, released on February 14, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #16, and is now topping Billboard’s Alternative, Rock and Americana/Folk chart. The album’s streams were fueled in part by first single “Same Old Song,” which landed at No. 1 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. According to Billboard, it is the 8th Lumineer’s song to chart at #1 on AAA. The song is also thriving at Alternative where it is #4.

The band recently announced the North American leg of the Automatic World Tour, a run of dates at stadiums, arenas and amphitheaters starting July 3. Tickets for the tour have been selling briskly and the band is pleased to announce additional dates in Boston at Fenway Park (July 17) and Los Angeles at the Kia Forum (August 8).

After twenty years of musical partnership, Automatic finds Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites traveling new sonic and thematic terrain with their most raw and personal collection thus far. Both men, now dads, fully embraced the life-altering, unromantic challenges and rewards of family life. When they reconvened to write, the emerging songs featured a new, aching vulnerability, sly humor, and bold acknowledgments of need – for love, respect, and connection in an increasingly chaotic world. 

Inspired by Peter Jackson’s 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back, the band, with the help of co-producers David Baron and Simone Felice, set up shop in the expansive tracking room at Woodstock's Utopia Studio. Multiple set-ups – with two sets of drums, three different pianos, and an array of amps, guitars, vocal mics – were laid out, allowing the musicians to pivot and capture as much as possible with minimal delay. The process further freed The Lumineers to perform the songs as a unit, allowing the band to capture the raw, organic presentation of the anthemic new tracks. For the first time on a Lumineers album, the band is credited as co-producers alongside Felice and Baron, who also engineered and mixed, as he did on the band’s last two albums.

Recorded in less than a month, the album, as Schultz says, feels “very much of this era.” While songs like the self-effacing “Asshole” and the spartan, wry “Better Day” reveal a risky intimacy and heretofore untapped undercurrent of humor, Automatic remains what fans around the world have come to love about The Lumineers – shadowy themes wrapped in upbeat, infectious melodies, sky-high choruses destined to be sung by tens of thousands each night on the road, and what Fraites calls “a palpable sense of connection between Wes and me. There’s lots of love on this record.”
