Rooted in folk-rock tradition but reaching toward something more novelistic, III finds Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites grappling with addiction, family cycles, and generational grief, themes rarely explored with this kind of structural ambition in mainstream American rock. The album's three-chapter format, each built around a different member of the fictional Sparks family, draws a clear line from the storytelling craft of classic singer-songwriter albums to the serialized drama of prestige television.


Two-time GRAMMY-nominated band The Lumineers are back with their third album, III, a cinematic piece presented as a narrative in three chapters, with each one centering on one main character. III’s concept began while the band was writing in the Catskill mountains, where producer Simone Felice works. Decidedly darker than their previous work in concept, but replete with their trademark expressive vocals and dynamic arrangements, III boldly and expertly goes in an artistic direction not yet traveled by the band. The Lumineers have enjoyed substantial commercial success; their 2012 self-titled debut featuring the hit single “Ho Hey” was certified triple-platinum in 2018, and their sophomore album Cleopatra was certified platinum in the same year after its 2016 release. They’ve had multiple #1 hits on the Triple A and Alternative radio charts, and have sold out tours across the world; over 300,000 tickets were sold on 2017’s Cleopatra world tour. The Lumineers have also supported icons and their musical heroes on the road, including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and U2’s Joshua Tree tour.
