Lover’s Game due March 10th
Trailblazing husband-and-wife duo The War And Treaty expand on their sound that cuts through the whole of southern music tradition with their forthcoming milestone album, Lover’s Game, available in CD and LP on March 10th. The 10-song collection produced by Dave Cobb, marks their first major-label release under Mercury Nashville as it finds Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter offering a unique perspective on shifting cultural and musical tides while pulling back the layers of a maturing relationship.
“There is no greater or higher calling in life than to be conduits of love and that’s exactly what Lover’s Game is to us,” Tanya says. “From the opening guitar riff to the last piano note on this record…love is the intention and love is the subject that can’t be ignored. We’ve been through every facet of it together and we could not be more excited to share another layer of our story.”
The previously released Blank Page EP offers an introduction to the full Lover’s Game sonic landscape with songs like the title track and “That’s How Love Is Made.” The spirit-lifting “Angel” soars on wings of gratitude, while “Have You a Heart” aches for real partnership. “Ain’t No Harmin’ Me” offers fire-and-brimstone harmony, while “Yesterday’s Burn” is a devoted partner pledge to soothe all scars, no matter how deep they go. The War And Treaty dug deep into the lessons their love has laid bare, with more than 100 songs written over the last two years before completing the full length project.
