Today The Krickets\u00a0release their third full-length album, If You Only Knew. This album includes 10 tracks, each a different type of love song. For these love-centered songs, Lauren Springs, Emily Stuckey Sellers\u00a0and Rachel Grubb, draw from their lived experience with all forms of love. Delivered with emotional depth and beautiful harmonies, this collection of songs offers a poignant reflection on the complexity and nuance of love, especially for those fortunate enough to have experienced it in its many forms over time.\u000f\u000fIf You Only Knew showcases the evolution of The Krickets\u2019 vocal-focused Americana sound, pushing the range within that sound as far as they ever have. Throughout the different iterations of the band, that harmony-driven songwriting style has always been the connecting thread. \u201cOn this album, every song is a love song from a different perspective. From romance to friendship, longing to estrangement, your own mind to a hater, it\u2019s an attempt to capture them all honestly.\u201d Lauren shares, \u201cWe chose the title track \u2018If You Only Knew\u2019 because you could apply that phrase to each of those perspectives and it would only emphasize how big love can feel, good or bad, in all those scenarios.”
\u000fExpressing the bone-deep ache of falling for someone you can\u2019t have or are too afraid to tell, the title track \u201cIf You Only Knew\u201d\u00a0perfectly embodies the sentiment that follows a range of experiences with love and heartbreak. Glide Magazineraved, \u201c’If You Only Knew,’\u00a0is an enchanting work of soulful Americana brimming with rich harmonies and poignant lyricism.”\u00a0With clear emotive vocals and pristine harmonies punctuated by mournful guitar, \u201cRight in Front of Me\u201d, addresses the person who loved them through a hard moment but they had missed seeing it until now. Inspired by the times that Rachel\u2019s been on the road away from her husband, \u201cAway From You\u201d captures a love that feels like home through raw impassioned harmonies and percussive instrumentals. A plea for patience and peace through troubling times, \u201cLet Me Be\u201d escalates from a slow burn banjo roll to an all out southern rock fest in four minutes.\u000f\u000fFor their third album, The Krickets returned to Florence, Alabama and Sun Drop Sound\u00a0which is owned by Single Lock Records where they recorded their debut album Spanish Moss Sirens in 2016. If You Only Knew is produced by Austin Motlow and reunited the band with their Spanish Moss Sirens producer, Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes), who contributed keys to a few tracks. The album also features guests Sol Littlefield\u00a0and Single Lock artist Caleb Elliott.\u00a0\u000f\u000f\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a hard decision, considering some of the greatest albums of all time have been recorded there by our heroes. Florence is also a beautiful and peaceful place that consistently inspires me whenever we visit. Our first album was recorded there nine years ago, and we had such a great experience working with Ben Tanner that it made sense to return to where it all began. This time, we had the opportunity to work with Austin Motlow, who is also at Sundrop Sounds. Working with Austin was fantastic\u2014he gave each song his full attention and brought out the sound and life they truly deserve. When the album was finished, we didn\u2019t want it to end. It\u2019s safe to say this has been our favorite experience to date,\u201d Emily stated.\u000f\u000fReflecting on how If You Only Knew\u00a0came to be, Rachel shares \u201cAlbums are expensive to create. This album would not exist without the donations raised on our Kickstarter Campaign. We are honored and grateful for our supporters and we hope this album makes them proud.\u201d\u000f\u000fAfter releasing 2019\u2019s Redbird, their 2nd album, The Krickets went from being a four-piece to a trio. Original members Lauren and Emily were joined by Rachel on bass and vocals. They took their time figuring out their new sound with this line-up and spent time writing together. All the songs on the album were written by the three of them except the title track which Lauren wrote with two other female singer-songwriters, Sofie Zamchick and Genevieve Glimp, and \u201cYour Light\u201d\u00a0which was a co-write between The Krickets and Eric Erdman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
