Dark Americana husband-wife duo VOLORES featuring long-time Flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell readies for the release of their debut album AGES on February 24th via Broken Stag Records. The band rallies fans and expands reach with the release of their new single “All That We Could Need” as well as a music video which are out today.
“You are all that you need to quell the anxious storm within your heart,” explains vocalist and guitarist Shelby Maxwell of their new single.
AGES explores universal themes of life, love, and death through dark Americana, stylish post-punk motifs and disarmingly frank lyricism. The album was recorded over a span of five days at Sonic Ranch – the world’s largest residential recording studio complex. Countless Motown artists have recorded there including Diana Ross, The Temptations, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye and The Jackson 5.
Organic, haunting, and relentlessly authentic, VOLORES’ broad appeal lies in its raw channeling of the mortal condition, including mental health struggles, that they’ve not only experienced, but experienced together. Simple, yet effortlessly beautiful, AGES celebrates the shared musical passions that brought the Maxwells together – from Leonard Cohen and Elliot Smith to The Cure and Interpol – through unfiltered expressions that cast deeply personal shadows in plain sight, coated only in intuitive melody and elegant songcraft.
