Here's the Perfect Weekend Road-Trip Playlist, Courtesy of the Lumineers

By Alexandra Schwartz

We've waited four long years since the epic foot-stomping anthem "Ho Hey" for new music from the Lumineers , and now they've finally given it to us with the release of their sophomore album, Cleopatra , last month. It was worth the wait: the alluring album is filled with songs of love and longing that draw you in with raw, intimate vocals and guitar strums courtesy of band members Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites, and Neyla Pekarek. It's a heartfelt reminder why we fell hard for this Americana folk trio from Colorado back in 2012—they're smooth, sentimental, and full of soul.

So, on the heels of their world tour (catch them on the festival circuit at BottleRock and Osheaga or at tons of other stops here ), we were eager to hear the music the band has on blast while on the road—so Neyla curated an ethereal weekend list (that includes "tasty treats" and yes, music from Hamilton !) just for you. Listen in!

Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, "A Man Alive" "I love everything this band does, but teaming up with Merrill Garbus from Tune-Yards to make this record is just too much love for my heart to handle."

Sylvan Esso, "Wolf" "This whole record is incredible, but this track sticks with me for its unique lyrics and haunting, beautiful vocals that pair perfectly with the underlying super cool beats. And I love those wolfie howls!"

Sunday Lane, "Adderall" "My newest obsession; with hints of Ellie Goulding and something all her own, Sunday Lane has me hypnotized. And the Liza Nelson-directed music video is equally magnetic."

Esme Patterson, "What Do You Call a Woman" "Between Esme's smoldering vocals, delicious guitars, and enticing lyrics, this tune captivates its listener, leaving us wanting to hear the rest of the story."

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, "SOB" "Couldn't be happier for these fellow Denver friends who have earned some much deserved attention and are forcing their audiences to show off their dance moves—because let's face it: You can't hear this song and NOT dance."

Baltimora, "Tarzan Boy" "I can't make a playlist without putting this song on it. It's just a tasty treat that puts me in an immediate good mood."

Hamilton: The Musical "If I'm being honest, this is pretty much all I've been listening to lately. I'm addicted."

Things To Do

Music | the lumineers’ video for “sleep on the floor” doubles as saddest colorado tourism ad ever.

If you are a human in the United States, you’ve probably heard of the Lumineers, the Denver-via-New Jersey band that sparked a pop-folk movement with its debut album and solidified its status as a songwriter’s band in its second, 2016’s “Cleopatra.”

The band has been releasing a steady stream of music videos from the new album throughout the year, typically featuring a sort of split-life effect where the song’s main character can see what would happen in their life if they decided to zig instead of zag.

Their video for “Sleep on the Floor,” the opening track from “Cleopatra,” is no different. The song follows a girl who glimpses her life if she ran away from home with a boy after a funeral, with all the requisite ups and downs of a road trip with no defined end in sight.

Film / Sleeping On Floors

Edit locked.

In the summer of 2016 we decided to take a little bit of money and go a long way to tell the story of a young couple on a road trip. The idea was to make a feature length film and then release the trailer for that film in the form of the music video "Sleep on the Floor".

Sleeping on Floors in an unfinished film, made by Isaac Ravishankara and the band The Lumineers . It stars Elise Eberle and Adam Lively as a young couple in their 20s on a Road Trip Plot .

• Agent Mulder : Levi of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Cleo finds this charmingly eccentric, and has an open mind about it, but does not take him seriously , to his annoyance. Levi: This is your first time in New Mexico, right? Cleo: Yeah, completely. Levi: So you know nothing about the aliens here? Tony: What? Levi: Ok, ok, so let me explain. Aliens are real, right? You guys agree?
• The Alleged Car : They buy the car off Craigslist and pay $400 for it. It has no AC, and they're pretty skeptical of its ability to get to New York.
• Arc Words : "Smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."
• The Cameo : The Lumineers appear and play at the house party in Denver.
• Comforting Comforter / You Must Be Cold : At the very end, Anthony puts his suit coat over a sleeping Cleo and gives her a kiss on the cheek before taking his leave. He also leaves her the car.
• Darker and Edgier : The core of the plot, really, is about Cleo and Anthony's relationship problems and eventual breakup. This is omitted from the music video, which would have you believe they're a great couple.
• Differing Priorities Breakup : They always said they'd get married someday, but Anthony seems to really want to, while Cleo doesn't. In the end, they break up.
• Disappeared Dad : Levi's dad is to him. He asks Anthony and Cleo to visit Levi on his behalf, as a way of reaching out. Dad: He lives with his mom. We haven't really... had much communication for quite a while there, uh... Yeah, tried email, I've tried calling him... not much...
• Driving Stick : Cleo hasn't driven stick before. Subverted, in that she gets a handle on it pretty quick. Double subverted in that another car trouble follows soon after when they run out of gas.
• Ending Theme : "Slow It Down" by The Lumineers
• Foreshadowing : At about the 8 minute mark, a tape of a voicemail plays. Anthony: It's me. Sorry I took 2 days to call you back. I don't know if this is the right time, or whatever. Um. I've been thinking about our adventure that we went on and something. Y'know, I don't know, it just, it kinda sucks, y'know, having this story and not being sure whether or not to share it with other people or keep it all to myself. [ Beat ] How's that car doing? She still running, even? [ Beat ] I'm back in California. I haven't been able to save enough for a plain ticket, you know how much those things are. I miss you. I hope that's ok to say. Um. I have to work early in the morning, but if you get this, I'll be up for a couple hours, so gimme a call back. Tag, you're it.
• High-School Sweethearts : Anthony and Cleo have been together since high-school.
• The Kindness of Strangers : Levi is very hospitable to the strangers his estranged father sends his way. Levi then passes them along to his friend Stel in Denver, who invite them to a house party and then give them a place to stay.
• Metaphorical Marriage : Cleo and Anthony always said they'd get married someday. Upon deciding they they need to break up, they decide to have their wedding right there, tonight, as a sort of one last hurrah. There is no reason to make it legally binding, though.
• Not Staying for Breakfast : At the end, after their wedding, Anthony leaves before Cleo wakes up, so that their last moment together can be a beautiful one, rather than having to face the pain of ending.

• Rejected Marriage Proposal : When Anthony proposes to Cleo, she initially thinks he's joking ( My God, You Are Serious! ) and then—when he isn't—she has no words. She doesn't actually say the word "no", but she doesn't say anything else either, which makes it pretty clear. Anthony says they've talked about it, but "it's always something."
• Road Trip Plot : They set out from Lancaster, California, and go to Vegas, then Albuquerque, then Denver.
• Viva Las Vegas! : They make a spontaneous detour to Vegas. While they're there, Anthony proposes, perhaps trying to invoke the married in Vegas trope.
• Welcome to the Big City : They leave from Lancaster, California, and are bound for New York City. Subverted, in that they only get as far as Denver, Colorado.

Country music reviews, interviews and beyond, the lumineers – release a trilogy of music videos exploring alcohol and drug addiction.

“Gloria is an addict. Her character was inspired by a member of my family, and no amount of love or resources could save her” – Lead Vocalist, Wesley Schultz

THE LUMINEERS

RELEASE A TRILOGY OF MUSIC VIDEOS TO ACCOMPANY

FIRST CHAPTER OF VISUAL ALBUM

‘ CHAPTER I: GLORIA SPARKS’

WATCH ‘DONNA’

WATCH ‘LIFE IN THE CITY’

WATCH ‘GLORIA’

The Lumineers release the visual for ‘ Life in the City’ – the last in a trilogy of gripping music videos to accompany their new EP ‘Chapter I: Gloria Sparks’ . The EP makes up the first chapter of the band’s forthcoming full-length visual album ‘III’ , out on 13 th September on Decca/Dualtone .

The album is a cinematic narrative told in three chapters , with the songs from each chapter focusing on one primary character from the three generations of the fictional Sparks Family . Each chapter will be released as an audio EP within the full-length album. The 3-song Chapter I audio EP was released in full on Friday and revolves around the family matriarch, Gloria Sparks .

  The stories told, as the chapters unfold, deal with subjects very close to the heart of lead vocalist, Wesley Schultz .

Schultz explains: “Gloria is an addict. Her character was inspired by a member of my family, and no amount of love or resources could save her. She’s now been homeless for over a year. Loving an addict is like standing among the crashing waves, trying to bend the will of the sea.”

Subsequent chapters focus on Gloria’s grandson Junior (Chapter II), and then her son Jimmy Sparks (Chapter III). Each of the songs from The Lumineers’ new album will also be released as individual music videos that collectively tell the visual story of the three generations of the Sparks family . All the videos are directed by Kevin Phillips (known for his indie movies   ‘Super Dark Times’ and ‘Too Cool For School’) and produced by Neighborhood Watch. The videos for ‘Gloria Sparks’   star actress Anna Cordell as Gloria and Josh Close as Gloria’s husband, William.

‘III’ is the third album by two-time GRAMMY-nominated band The Lumineers, whose line up is original members and songwriters Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites plus violinist/vocalist Lauren Jacobson, pianist Stelth Ulvang, bassist/backing vocalist Byron Isaacs and multi-instrumentalist Brandon Miller. ‘III’ follows two platinum albums, their self-titled 2012 debut, which stormed into the Top 10 of the UK Official Album Chart (and was certified triple-platinum in 2018), and their second album, ‘Cleopatra’, released in 2016, which hit No.1 in both the UK Official Album Charts and No.1 on the Billboard Top 200 in its week of release.

The Lumineers have sold out tours across the world, selling over 300,000 tickets on 2017’s ‘Cleopatra World Tour’ which ended with 27 sold out arena shows. Their discography has racked up a total of 4.2 billion streams and 4.6 million album sales worldwide. The band have also supported icons and their musical heroes on the road, including Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at British Summer Time Festival in London’s Hyde Park in 2017. This year, the band will tour across the US and Europe, with nights at three UK arenas including a date at London’s O2 Arena.

The Lumineers (Deluxe Edition)

With their playful, rustic indie folk, The Lumineers deftly evoke a nostalgic vision of America. Lyrics about American Bandstand, JFK, and flappers dot the Denver band's debut as vocalist Wesley Schultz adds a Dylan-esque quaver to foot-stompers ("Flowers In Your Hair") and piano-parlor romps ("Big Parade"). Sparse acoustic ballads "Dead Sea" and "Slow It Down" temper the mood with slithering strings and wistful crooning, but it's the shout-along "Ho Hey" that sums up what this album is all about: "Love, we need it now."

The ‘Ho Hey’ hitmakers celebrate the beauty of love in the visuals for their latest single.

Published on

The Lumineers have today released the music video for their new single ‘ Brightside ’. The four-and-a-half-minute clip is a joyous, heartfelt celebration of romantic love, opening with a variety of people answering the question, “What does love mean to you?”, before going on to showcase the love of couples of all ages, races, and genders. These couples are then seen waltzing around the band as they perform the song.

The poignant video, directed by noted documentarian filmmaker Kyle Thrash explores love and relationships through people of different ages, ethnicity, and orientations. The band also appears in the video, performing at a dance in an American Legion Hall.

“The ‘Brightside’ music video is like a documentary of the American love story,’ says the band’s Wesley Schultz, “It features all real people – none of the people that appear in it are actors.”

These visuals certainly complement the song’s subject matter. The band’s singer, guitarist, and co-founder Wesley Schultz describes ‘Brightside’ as “a 15-year-old’s fever dream, an American love story in all its glory and heartbreak. The last couple left, on the run from something, and all alone…”

‘Brightside’ is the lead single from the multi-platinum, Grammy-award winning band’s upcoming fourth album of the same name, which was announced last week. The album will be released on Friday, January 14, 2022 via Dualtone in the US and Canada and Decca Records for the rest of the world.

The Lumineers’ first album of original material in two years sees Schultz and fellow songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeremiah Fraites at their most joyous and spontaneous, with the two men performing virtually all instrumentation themselves.

Back in May, they released a new live EP, Live From The Last Night Of Tour , which is now available digitally through Decca Records.

Brightside is out on January 14 and is available for pre-order.

Baseball Set for Road Trip to Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Rutgers baseball is on the road once again this week for a three-game series at Indiana. It is the team's first trip to Bloomington since 2019. 

Game one is set for a 6 p.m. first pitch on Friday evening, followed by a 2 p.m. start on Saturday and an 11 a.m. finale on Sunday which will be broadcast nationally on BTN.

Rutgers is coming off a series on the road to Iowa. 

The Scarlet Knights bounced back with a dominant 15-0 midweek win at home over St. John's on Tuesday.

The Hoosiers are 7-5 in the Big Ten and most recently won two-of-three on the road over Minnesota.

Friday and Saturday's games will be streamed on Big Ten Plus, with Sunday's game set for BTN with Jack Kizer (PxP) and Scott Pose (Analyst) on the call. 

Fans can also follow along on X ( @RutgersBaseball ) for live updates. Live stats will be available here .

Series History Rutgers is 9-13 all-time against Indiana, including a 7-9 mark in Big Ten games. The teams did not play in 2023, while the Scarlet Knights won all four games against the Hoosiers in 2022, including a 14-2 run-rule victory in the Big Ten Tournament. Last Time Out

Rutgers was swept on the road last weekend at Iowa. Justin Sinibaldi delivered another quality start on Friday night, but it wasn't enough in the 8-1 defeat. On the weekend, freshman Ty Doucette hit two home runs and drove in four runs.

In Tuesday's midweek game, RU shut out St. John's 15-0 behind an eight-run first inning and quality pitching across the board. 

Left Side, Strong Side 

The Scarlet Knights boast one of the top left sides of the infield in the entire country. SS Josh Kuroda-Grauer (#5) and 3B Tony Santa Maria (#13) are both ranked among the best at their respective positions by D1Baseball.com at the midpoint of the season.

Kuroda-Grauer was named to the Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List and a Midseason First Team All-American by Perfect Game . 

The duo has been the engine that powers RU's Big-Ten best offense and have the numbers to back it up. 

Kuroda-Grauer is batting .440 to lead the Big Ten and rank fourth in the country. His 65 hits lead the country. His 105 total bases, 17 doubles and 20 stolen bases are all second in the Big Ten.

After missing 2023 with injury, Santa Maria ranks among the Big Ten's best with 45 runs (third), 85 total bases (fifth), 10 home runs (sixth), 42 RBI (sixth) and 16 hit-by-pitches (third).

Rotation Continuity

After having to replace the entire starting rotation in back-to-back seasons, Rutgers has enjoyed continuity on the mound in 2024. 

Justin Sinibaldi and Christian Coppola have started every weekend game this season.

Sinibaldi has five outings of seven-plus innings, has gone eight-plus in three of his last seven stars and was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week after a shutout against UConn. He has eight quality starts this season and has five in a row.

Coppola was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week in February after a six-inning, nine-strikeout performance at Old Dominion and earned the win against UConn with 5.2 innings, three runs and six strikeouts.

Right Side Breakout

The right side of the RU infield has enjoyed a pair of breakout seasons thus far. Senior Cameron Love is having a career year in his final season on the Banks. His .333 average is third on the team, while his 17 extra-base hits are third and he already has a career high with three home runs.

True freshman Ty Doucette has emerged after missing 10 games with injury. His eight home runs are already second-most on the team and his 37 RBIs trail only Kuroda-Grauer and Santa Maria.

Staff Updates Head Coach Steve Owens announced a number of changes to his staff ahead of the 2024 season. Mike Garza was promoted to hitting coach after serving two years as a volunteer assistant.  With the NCAA increasing the number of full-time assistant coaches from two to three, Owens added Danny Bethea to the staff from St. John's. In his role, Bethea works with the team's catchers, offense and will coach first base.  Jack Arend also joined the staff as the Director of Player Development, where he oversees video and data collection while also running camps and clinics.  Depth Behind the Dish RU has a number of quality options at the catcher position for 2024. Hugh Pinkney returns after making 48 starts at catcher and designated hitter last season, hitting .267 with 12 extra-base hits and a .716 OPS in his true freshman season. JD Jones joins the catching corps as a transfer from Miami and provides a veteran presence. True freshman Jackson Natili is primed for a big career "On the Banks" and factors in as well. Infield Experience Rutgers returns at least a full season of starting experience at every infield spot, with Jordan Sweeney (108), Kuroda-Grauer (105), Cameron Love (63) and Santa Maria (60) combining for 376 starts for RU.  Outfield Options Trevor Cohen represents the lone returning starter in the RU outfield, having started all 56 games last season and hitting .298 with 26 walks to 22 strikeouts en route to being named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Rutgers retooled with the addition of RJ Johnson Jr. from the JUCO ranks, who is expected to start in centerfied. Johnson his .343 with six home runs and 36 RBIs, while leading his Gulf Coast State team with 61 hits and 55 runs scored in 2023.  Transfers Pete Ciuffreda (Lafayette) and Pete Durocher (Manhattan) bring a combined seven seasons of experience to the outfield and can play multiple positions.  Bullpen Arms Ben Gorski returns for his final season after an All-Big Ten season in 2023 where he locked down eight saves and posted a 3.40 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 39.2 innings. He was named to NCBWA Stopper of the Year watchlist ahead of 2024. Sam Portnoy pitched to a 3.69 ERA across 31.2 innings in 20 appearances and also earned a spot on the NCBWA Stopper of the Year watchlist. Joey DeChiaro joins the bullpen as a graduate transfer from Old Dominion, where he appeared in 50 games across four seasons for the Monarchs. After a strong summer in the Cape Cod League, DeChiaro was named Preseason All-Conference by Perfect Game. Jake Marshall was third on the Scarlet Knights in 2023 with 51.0 innings as both a starter and reliever and will factor in the team's plans once again. Marshall struck out 60 batters in 51.0 innings a year ago and has 191 strikeouts in his collegiate career.  Joe Mazza was second to only Gorski with 24 appearances for RU last season and pitch 32.0 innings with a 4.78 ERA out of the bullpen.  The bullpen will also receive a boost from the returns of RHP Gavin Stellpflug and LHP Donovan Zsak – neither of whom pitched last season.  A pair of transfers in Jordan Falco (Adelphi) and Sonny Fauci (St. John's) emerged as relievers who can provide length out of the bullpen as well.
