Greta Van Fleet's New Album Will "Definitely" Arrive This Year

Bassist Sam Kiszka says we'll be hearing a new Greta Van Fleet record in 2019.

Greta Van Fleet's New Album Will "Definitely" Arrive This Year

According to bassist Sam Kiszka, fans should "definitely expect" Greta Van Fleet's second album to arrive this year.

Speaking to Australia's Heavy Mag during their first-ever tour down under, Sam has revealed that Greta Van Fleet's thoughts have already turned to the follow-up to last year's Anthem Of The Peaceful Army debut, and the band are excited about the challenge of working on new music.

"We were actually talking, and we all decided earlier this month that we need to do a record as soon as possible," the bassist says (via Blabbermouth). "So the one thing I can say right now is that you can definitely expect album two in 2019.

"I'm very excited about it… I think that if you think about it too much, then it becomes unnatural, and it's very easy to be caught up in that. So, yeah, I think we're just gonna do what we do, and we're gonna make the music that we wanna hear, and we're gonna grow musically. There's a lot of stuff that we're working on right now that's very exciting and very new and we're going places that we've never been before – literally and figuratively. But I think album two is going to be very worldly. Touring the world – seeing Japan, seeing Australia – and having all these new experiences, in a way, those sounds of… the colours of our mind get put into the record like that. This only skyrockets our creativity, because we get to see so many beautiful things that we've never seen before… This is a great life."
