In a new interview with Listen Up Denver, Yonder Mountain String Band’s Dave Johnston says the band intends to release a new album in 2015. While Johnston was reluctant to reveal many details, he did say that the album is “in the can” and that “recording it felt really good.”

Johnston added, “There were kind of two processes happening. One was the recording but a bigger part of it was the compositional aspect of it and coming up with how we wanted to do different parts and how we wanted to arrange different solos. We have Jake on mandolin and Allie on fiddle and they’re both on vocals as well. So we have five different voices now all working together and it feels like the first record we did. It has that energy to it and it was really a fun process. We’re really psyched about it.”

On the status of guests Allie Kral and Jake Jolliff, Johnston hesitated to use the word “permanent” but did say that they will be on the road with the band in 2015. Currently, Yonder is readying to ring in New Year’s at the Boulder Theater in Colorado.
