With their latest album, Spirits, the band continues this tradition by incorporating their signature  punk, folk and bluegrass sound along with country and singer-songwriter leanings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“That’s what we set out to do. We wanted to use these musical forms to talk about current issues,” explains Pete Bernhard.  “We didn’t want to just sing about trains and mining and drinking. For myself, it didn’t seem relevant. Folk music should be about what’s happening now, just as it was when Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan did it. Our music is not just a re-enactment of something old and dusty.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe song titles alone describe the band’s return to a stripped-down, drum-less sound and songs that reflect the ongoing struggle to survive amid the uncertainties of the current volatile climate: “Dark Gets the Best of You,” “Divide and Conquer,” “Ghost are Weak,” “Hard Times,” “I Love Doing Drugs,” “Poison Well” and “The Devil Wins.” The tracks were recorded at Dreamland, part of a converted church compound outside Woodstock in upstate New York which offered some haunted moments of its own, with plenty of spooky thunderstorms and lightning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“There’s definitely a theme of ghosts and death running through this album,” acknowledged Bernhard, who lost his mother, brother and closest childhood friend while making the record. “It also has a good amount of political material, a reflection on how divided people are these days, just trying to find common ground. Not being able to perform our music live led to some deep reflections.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Devil Makes Three have a very loyal, dedicated and diverse fan base that wouldn't necessarily spend much time together. With Spirits the band hope to continue to bring together all sides to listen to the band's take on personal hardships as well as shared struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights on Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhosts are Weak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalf as High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Devil Wins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dark Gets the Best of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFallen Champions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivide and Conquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love Doing Drugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoison Well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 607396660100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e New West Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.28.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ShopTime Music \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983737049263,"sku":"STMM-26182269","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/4112\/7599\/files\/4386458-3334630.jpg?v=1780155333","url":"https:\/\/pureliverecords.shop\/products\/the-devil-makes-three-spirits-autographed-cd","provider":"Pure Live Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
