“You I’m Waiting On” is about the tension that builds up between two people that know they like each other but they’re still waiting on the other to make the first move,” explains Albino. “Leaving the door open hoping one day they’ll walk through it and mustering the courage to finally take that first step yourself.”
Described by Albino as a catalogue of feelings from times passed, Tears You Hide, is a deeply personal album traversing his development as an artist. Experiences with tragedy, grief, and love tumble throughout, grounded in moments of joy and the hope it brings
Produced by Albino’s long-time collaborator and manager Crispin Day, Tears You Hide was recorded entirely live off the floor. The organic conversational nature inherent in Albino’s music is infused with a palpable raw energy. Albino found support from the team instrumental in the production of his earlier work. The Rosehall Band, his original backing band, and Andrija Tokic, who co-produced his critically acclaimed debut full length Hard Time, were brought back to assist.
With his debut album, Hard Time (2019), Albino was a supporting act for JD Mcpherson and then St. Paul & The Broken Bones on his first round of US tours. In 2020, he accompanied Shovels & Rope on tour through the UK and Europe, later collaborating with Michael Trent who produced Albino’s EP, Past Dawn (2022). He’s performed alongside contemporary country trail-blazers Orville Peck and Cat Clyde. The nomadic lifestyle suits him and reverberates on stage. Strumming with abandon alongside an erupting vocal chorus, his magnetic spirit landed him as one of the best performers from AmericanaFest 2019 by Billboard.
Tears You Hide is out June 9th 2023.
