LISTEN UP // Justin Vernon Releases New Album Under The Shouting Matches Moniker

Good afternoon! Justin Vernon has teamed up with Phil Cook and Peter Wolf Crier’s Brian Moen for a new project called The Shouting Matches. NPR is streaming the group’s debut album in full; head HERE to stream Grownass Man. The album is officially out tomorrow!

“It’s the work of a guy who loves playing music — who’s drawn influence from Talk Talk and Bruce Hornsby and many points in between — and saw an opportunity to have a blast on the side with friends he’s joined on stage whenever possible.” – Stephen Thompson

You can see The Shouting Matches live at Coachella this weekend, as well as next!
