Drive-By Truckers have released a new song, “The Perilous Night“.
It’s the group’s first new music since last year’s American Band. The new song continues that album’s politically explicit agenda.
“‘The Perilous Night’ is the true follow to what we’ve been doing,” Patterson Hood told Rolling Stone. “When we recorded American Band, there hadn’t even been the first primary yet and we were writing about this dark time I honestly thought was going to get better. I don’t think I could’ve mustered up the kind of cynicism to predict the type of bullshit we’ve seen this year.”
“The Perilous Night” will be released December 15 as a 7″ alongside a live recording of “What It Means“, with portions of the proceeds going to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
