Grain, due October 14, is LaMontagne’s third album and marks a departure for the musician from his first two.
While Trouble and Till The Sun Turns Black were largely solo affairs, with producer Ethan Johns serving as multi-tasking instrumentalist, the new disc sees the singer joined by members of his touring band – bassist Jennifer Condos and guitarist Eric Heywood – for the recording sessions, as well as Naess on two tracks.
