The Lumineers released their second album on April 8, 2016. Their first album went platinum, and they spent months touring relentlessly in support of it.

You’ll hear their demos and a version that didn’t make it to the album. They’ll explain how the final track is not just a product of what they put into it, but what they decided to leave out.
