Alt-country band Old 97’s have finally unveiled details on their forthcoming studio album.

Announced today, American Primitive will be released on April 5 via ATO Records. The 13-track album was produced by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, The Decemberists, Neko Case), and it includes guest musicians Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey of The Young Fresh Fellows and The Minus 5. The album’s artwork was done by Tex Hammond, who is the 17-year-old son of Old 97’s bassist Murry Hammond.

Singer Rhett Miller said this about the album:

“This was the first record we’ve ever done with zero pre-production. It’s us working completely on instinct, leaning on 30 years of playing together to come up with something on the fly rather than overthinking any of our choices.”

A new single from the record titled "Where The Road Goes" comes with a music video directed by James Hyland, Alex Young, and Myles Flusser. Miller said this about the new song, which includes Peter Buck on guitar:

“I was in Montana and found myself on the banks of the Blackfoot River, watching the water pounding with a ferocious power, and I started building this song as a statement of gratitude for having survived this long. It revisits some of the darkest moments of my life, including a suicide attempt at age 14 that by all rights I shouldn’t have lived through and yet somehow did. In a way it’s like a spiritual travelogue that rolls back through all the places that shaped me for better or worse, and ends up in this beautiful place that I felt so thankful to experience.”
