Canadian artist Jeremie Albino has had something of a steep rise from Ontario farm boy to Toronto busker to opening for the likes of Shovels & Rope and St. Paul & The Broken Bones as well as sharing stages with Sierra Ferrell and Orville Peck. Now Easy Eye Sound has announced it will be releasing Albino’s latest album “Our Time In The Sun” on 1st November 2024.
The album, Albino’s fourth including his duo record with Cat Clyde, was produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach in Nashville with a supporting cast of top-class musicians. Auerbach had been impressed by Albino: “The first time I saw Jeremie it was just him and his acoustic. His voice was amazing. I instantly loved his style and charisma — I didn’t know it could just be so real.”
One of the key challenges in bringing the 12 song collection to fruition was bottling Albino’s enthralling live energy; that challenge became their mission statement. The sound is described as “sharp, observant, and deeply-felt originals defined by clever turns of phrase – tapping into Southern psychedelia and the blues-rock of the 60s to tell tales of love gone sour, struggling with the bottle, and a life defined by work”.
Albino has released the first song they tracked, ‘Rolling Down The 405’ as a single. The song came to life when Albino, Auerbach and McLaughlin were riffing during a songwriting session. “The song came together so fast. I just started chugging on the guitar and singing lyrics off the top of my head,” Albino recollects.
