The Revivalists shared a new single, “Down In The Dirt.” The song is set for the New Orleans rockers’ upcoming album, Pour It Out Into The Night, arriving on June 2 via Concord Records.
The Revivalists heralded Pour It Out Into The Night in February with the inspiring single “Kid.” The NOLA outfit followed with the politically-charged “The Long Con” in March and now “Down In The Dirt,” which press materials described as “a portrait of the intersection of family, childhood, and religion.”
Revivalists guitarist Zack Feinberg penned “Down In The Dirt” and spoke about the inspiration behind the song:
“‘Down in the Dirt’ is like a mini family epic that reckons with the big questions of life. I was inspired to write this song after happening upon a performance by ‘Southern Gothic’ New Orleans folk trio called The Wanting. I was struck by their song called ‘Dark Road.’ (Chris Jacob is credited as a co-writer on the song for the inspiration). So, I listened back to that song while walking my dog the next day and the first lines of ‘Down in the Dirt’ popped in my head, and I completed the song over the next few months before the world went on pause for the pandemic.”
