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.

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. 

Released 3/27/26, The Long Surrender is available here on standard black vinyl LP and CD.

Event preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after the event date. Please pick up your copy of The Long Surrender no later than June 27th.
