Bringing a bold new sense of abandon to their soulful fusion of timeless Americana and forward-thinking alt-rock, GRAMMY-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE is back with their tenth (!!) studio album, The Long Surrender. The record drops on Friday, March 27th via MCA Records and is available to preorder here now on vinyl and CD.

Produced by 9X GRAMMY-winner Dave Cobb and recorded last year at his studio in Savannah, GA, The Long Surrender captures the band at their most vulnerable and instinctive, recorded largely live and driven by lead singer Bear Rinehart’s deeply personal songwriting. While NEEDTOBREATHE embraced a deliberately unfussy approach to the album’s sound, The Long Surrender endlessly pushes into gently inventive terrain, often bringing unexpected texture and energy to Rinehart’s soul-baring lyrics.

Led by the early standout track “Momma Loves Me” featuring The Red Clay Strays, The Long Surrender reflects themes of faith, redemption, and renewed clarity — showcasing a band confident enough to strip everything back and let the songs speak for themselves. The album is available to preorder now on standard black vinyl LP and CD.

Preorders for local, store pick up will be available at Grimey’s starting on Friday, March 27th.

Preorders for mail order will ship out from Grimey’s on or around Friday, March 27th.

*Preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after release date. Please pick up your The Long Surrender preorder no later than June 27th.
