Self-described “mountain rock” band, Whitacre, have released their first full-length album, Seasons, out now. Listen, stream, and/or download here. The foursome hail from Denver, Colorado and the album was recorded at Third & James in Denver, produced by Joe Richmond (Tennis, Churchill) and mixed by Yuuki Matthews (The Shins). This album is the first time the band recorded in a big space, finding their creative freedom, heavily evolving from their last EP, 2018’s Within The Mountains’ Shadows. However, their intention was to never record a full album. Frontman Paul Whitacre says “We went in with two complete songs and came out with a 10 song LP. It’s almost like there was a story that HAD to be told, and it wasn’t up to us to decide when that happened.”

Seasons represents the different phases of life, fulfilling the message of not only the album, along with the band’s mission. “We have a burning desire to tell a story that isn’t often told in the music industry today. One of redemption and restoration. We want to reassure the broken-hearted that there is hope, we want to show the invisible that we see them and that they matter. We believe that doesn’t only happen in lyrics but in a melody as well. We believe in the power of music and that it is used to soften and heal hearts.” The album features genres of Americana, folk and rock, and have been hailed as one of Denver’s fastest rising bands, selling out shows with Mt. Joy, Wild Child, and Birdtalker. They have played such heralded venues as Red Rocks and The Bluebird Theater, and have over half a million streams on Spotify.
