Eric Church Says New Album Is Coming
Eric Church just announced the release date and details of his highly anticipated new album, Evangeline Vs. the Machine, which will be out May 2.
The eight-song collection is produced by Jay Joyce, and marks the country star’s first record since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple project.
“An album is a snapshot in time that lasts for all time. I believe in that time-tested tradition of making records that live and breathe as one piece of art — I think it’s important. I’ve always let creativity be the muse.”
The album includes the just-released single, “Hands of Time,” and “Darkest Hour,” which Church released last year to raise funds for Hurricane Helene relief efforts in North Carolina, with all his royalties from the track being donated to the cause.
The album closes with Church’s cover of Tom Waits’ “Clap Hands,” showcasing the country singer’s diverse musical influences and openness to experimentation.
Eric also shared a clip where he talks about his new song “Hands of Time”, and how old music has a way of making you feel young again.
