Indie rock group The Ophelias have announced their fourth album, Spring Grove, via Get Better Records. The album is out on April 4th, and it's produced by boygenius member Julien Baker. This is the first time that Baker has produced an album for another artist.
The Ophelias are Spencer Peppet (she/her), Mic Adams (drums, he/him), Andrea Gutmann Fuentes (violin, she/her), and Jo Shaffer (bass, they/she). The band first formed in 2015 in Cincinnati. This is The Ophelias' first release via Get Better Records, and it follows last year's Ribbon EP.
Lead single "Cumulonimbus" is out today, along with a music video for the track. Watch the music video below:
The collaboration between The Ophelias and Baker on Spring Grove began in 2021. According to press materials, Baker called the band, asking to produce the follow-up to their third album, 2021's Crocus. Baker and The Ophelias tracked the album together at Young Avenue Sound in Memphis, TN. The Grammy-winning songwriter also sings harmonies and plays on tracks throughout the record.
This spring, The Ophelias will tour in support of their new record. Check out the dates of their headlining East Coast and Midwest run below.
