Produced by Trampled by Turtles’ Dave Simonett, the new ten-track LP from The Last Revel, titled Gone for Good reflects an ethos in their career never to give up. The new album is a “multilayered ode to the life of an artist, life on the road, and what it means to be a human being in uncertain times.” The single and video for “Solid Gone” is out now.
Banjoist Ryan Acker says of the band’s trajectory:
The boat is off the shore and you can’t see land anymore—we’re in it now. This is a step in our careers that feels like there’s no going back. There’s a level of commitment now that, just a couple of years ago, we didn’t fathom we could take on.
Gone for Good is due out July 18th, 2025 via Thirty Tigers. The new single “Solid Gone” is a meditation on loss or potential loss.
As Acker recalls about the track:
In early 2023, my wife and former band got in a car accident while on tour driving through some nasty winter weather in eastern Montana. We’ve both always known that the life of a touring musician comes with a certain amount of risk, but an extremely close call like this conjured up some heavy emotions to face.
Acker couldn’t help but think about if she’d never made it home from Montana that day and reflected on their lives spent mostly on separate touring schedules.
Acker continues:
‘Solid Gone’ came from grappling with the harsh reality that just because you found your soulmate does not mean that you are guaranteed another chance to see them. I wanted the music and instrumentation to reflect this ‘ships in the night’ feeling.
