The album is out October 16th.
Old-soul Texas singer-songwriter Chuck Leah has announced the release of his new album, Band of Ghosts, out October 16.
Today, Leah shared the video for the album's first single, "Eugenie," which features delicate violins and cinematic imagery from the streets of New Orleans. "Well I met Eugenie down in Jackson Square, she was reading palms on the Spanish Stairs," Chuck sings - listen below. Band of Ghosts is a reference to Chuck's band members during the album's socially-distanced recording sessions, when they weren't able to be in the same room. The album was recorded on vintage equipment, mostly to tape, and features string arrangements with minimal radiance. Chuck says, "the album is a stroll from Texas to Louisiana," and goes through the Arizona desert ("I Lost Her in Tucson"), down the Sunset Strip ("LAX"), and Nashville ("Memphis"). Leah continues, "I find a lot of pleasure in roaming. It keeps the creative juices flowing. I'll be somewhere at a diner or something, and I'll hear a phrase that I've never heard before. Sometimes that'll set the gears rolling."Listen to "Eugenie" below.
