It's been a year of singles for AJR. In February, the brothers dropped "Bang!," which ended up being one of iHeartRadio's most-played alternative songs of the year, and followed it up with "Bummerland" over the summer. Now, the indie pop trio is teasing a "new era" on social media.
On Sunday (December 13), the band shared a mysterious post on Instagram. "We told you it was a new era. SOMETHING’S COMING," they wrote alongside a series of three photos: two depicting this year's singles and the third a blurred image. Are AJR releasing a new single or announcing their anticipated fourth album? We're not sure, but we'll find out soon enough!
Check out their teaser post below.
Earlier this year, AJR described how "daunting" it was to work on the follow-up to their successful third album, Neotheater.
"It’s pretty daunting, making an album," they wrote on Instagram at the time. "Especially this one, as our fourth album, after what The Click and Neotheater have done for our lives."
However, they're taking the pressure with stride, reminding themselves each project is its own entity. "But we’ve been learning such an important lesson with this one, as we continue to work through it: every time we have thoughts like 'we need a crazy switch-up song like Three Thirty' or 'we need a little acoustic one like 'Dear Winter'' we step back and say, No. An album isn’t a cake recipe where you have to add the same correct ingredients that you added last time," they continued. "The truest, most real version of this album is the version where we make it up as we go along, rewriting the recipe as we go. Wanted to share those thoughts with you, because we think about this a lot"
