    Soul Asylum vocalist and guitarist Dave Pirner, says that making their twelfth studio full-length, Hurry Up And Wait, was a completely seamless, enjoyable, and productive experience. The album was co-produced with John Fields—and recorded at Minneapolis’ Nicollet Studios, the same place where the celebrated rock band recorded seminal early albums released on Twin/Tone Records—the album reflects Soul Asylum’s usual eclectic approach.

    Lyrically, songs dive into topics such as grappling with emotional and geographic disconnection, navigating romantic ebbs and flows, and the power of embracing optimism despite it all. Sonically, Hurry Up And Wait features thrashing songs indebted to punk (“Hopped Up Feelin’”) and classic rock (“Got It Pretty Good”), folk-influenced pop-rock (“Silly Things”), and gorgeous jangle-pop (lead single “If I Told You.”)

lyrics

I’ve done a lot of silly things
I’ve found out just what trouble brings
You used to wear my silly ring
While I listened to my ears ring
I’ve done a lot of silly things

I used to think that I was cool
Break each and every single rule
Now all the rules are just the same
It’s just a silly game
I used to do a lot of things

And when I fail, I will fail without you
And my mistakes I’ll always answer to
And if I cared, anymore
To see it like the truth
I’ve done a lot of silly things
And I know just what trouble brings
I’ve done a lot of silly things

I used to like the way you walk
You used to like the way I talk
I used to do a lot of things
I used to think that I could sing
I’ve done a lot of silly things

You used like the way I moved
You used to think that I was smooth
And if I ever had a chance
I would ask you out again
I’ve done a lot of stupid things

And when I fail, I will fail without you
I’ve been let down, oh so many times
No one to blame, but myself
To keep from getting down
I’ve done a lot of stupid things
And I know just what trouble brings
I’ve done a lot of silly things

I’ve done a lot of silly things
Now I know just what trouble brings
You used to wear my silly ring
I’ve done a lot of stupid things
I’ve done a lot of silly things

But when I play, I will play without you
It’s every man and woman for themselves
I feel I’ve learned the hard way
To put you before myself

I’ve done a lot of silly things
I’ve done a lot of stupid shit
And I’m still tryin’ to deal with it
