Midland is feeling "Barely Blue"

Dave Cobb produced the effort, which explores loneliness, masculinity and resilience in the face of heartache. Midland recorded at Georgia Mae Studios in Savannah, Ga.

The trio of lead singer/guitarist Mark Wystrach, bassist/vocalist Cameron Duddy and guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson released the album's opening track "Lucky Sometimes," along with an official video directed by Harper Smith.

The group also announced "The Get Lucky Tour" that kicks off on Sept. 19 and will make stops at Red Rocks Amphitheater on Oct. 12 with Jackson Dean and at the ACL Live in their hometown of Austin on Dec. 20. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

Wystrach said of the single, "'Lucky Sometimes' is a get up and go, hot streak, feel good anthem for when it feels like you just can't lose. The arrangement is sparse with a high and lonesome groove that crests with soaring harmonies on the hook. It's the first song on the album and an introduction to the new sonic landscape that we found with Dave Cobb at the helm."

"We knew we wanted to go somewhere else," Duddy said about the release. "We are all big believers in a certain time and place, a sense of classic country that comes from roadhouses and bad coffee, miles and miles and miles on the road, and the idea that, even though we're all happy, love and life falls apart, but that doesn't mean you have to, too. When we were writing these songs, it was a trip into all the things in country music we love. You don't hear much of this kind of unfiltered, hard stuff that comes with the great guitar sounds, the deep harmonies and shuffles you can tuck into. But that's the essence of what Midland is, and Dave Cobb brought a new altitude to our sound."

Wystrach said, "Dave Cobb had been a producer we wanted to work with since we first heard Sturgill Simpson's 'Metamodern Sounds in Country Music'. Dave's eclectic musical background and the way he approaches recording as an experience and not a task made him the perfect match for us. On 'Barely Blue,' we feel like Dave helped us find the sound we've been searching for for a long time."

"Our sound and writing has always been evolving," Duddy said. "We were three guys who met at a wedding, shot the shit about music and realized how much we had in common. We started singing together and were amazed at the sound of our combined voices. What started with 'Drinkin' Problem' was the beginning of a journey that's always been interesting; it's twisted and turned, but honestly, Mark, Jess and I have loved everywhere it's taken us."
