Alabama Shakes have announced their first new album in 11 years. The band\u2019s third LP, I Must Be Dreaming<\/a>, is set for release on August 28 via Island Records<\/a>. It includes the previously released singles \u2018Another Life\u2019<\/a> and \u2018American Dream\u2019, and a new track, \u2018I Feel Hope Coming\u2019, will be out this Friday, July 10. Check out a trailer for the LP below, along with the cover art and tracklist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis younger generation makes me feel hopeful because they can see through all the political lies \u2013 that song\u2019s about holding onto that hope, and refusing to give up,\u201d Brittany Howard said of the upcoming single. Heath Fogg added, \u201cI\u2019m really happy that song exists. It came from such a joyful moment of collaboration, and exemplifies everything I love about this band being reborn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the album title, Howard explained: \u201cThere\u2019s a double meaning to it. It could be saying, \u2018I must be dreaming, because the world is so fucking crazy right now.\u2019 But it could also mean, \u2018I must be dreaming, because the world is so incredibly beautiful.\u2019 Both those things can be true at once.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
