Hear the lush new “farm emo” album from Tiberius, Troubadour

Tomorrow—Friday, Nov. 14—Boston-based group Tiberius will release their new album, Troubadour, via Audio Antihero. The band describe their music as “Farm Emo” and the album is a blend of twinkling emo guitars, earthy alt-country songwriting and shimmering psychedelia, reminiscent of the likes of MJ Lenderman and Greg Freeman. It’s both gorgeously affecting and an immersive headphone listen. The band preceded the release of their new album with the singles “Sag,” “Felt,” and “Moab,” and today we’re premiering the stream of the entire album. Hear it in full below and grab it at Bandcamp.

The group’s founder and vocalist, Brendan Wright, released a statement about the album: “For most of my life, I defined myself almost completely on who I was in relation to others – my friends, my family, and my relationships. Troubadour was written in a short period of time where these relationships changed significantly, and it felt as if I underwent complete ego death. For months, I felt insane but inevitably found solace in nature and the constant of the trees. For a period, I felt utterly connected to the universe in a way that was completely outside my sense of self. I was everything all at once, and it was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. And it was hard. And I think I was lucky enough to capture it in these 10 tracks.”
