Collin, Trevor, Fran, and Simon here…and we are super excited to share our newest release!

OH10 (Ohio) came very naturally to us as a band. We wanted to dive deeper into a raw, more stripped-back arrangement that puts the lyrics at the forefront. With Simon on a honky-tonk out-of-tune piano, Collin giving us his best impersonation of a sheriff while playing bass, Trevor with a rootsy guitar solo and lap steel, and Fran on drums and lead vocals, OH10 came together quickly and effortlessly from the first harmony laden chorus to the final jam-out section at the end.

The artwork for OH10, designed by Simon. After a show in Akron, Ohio, we hit a deer and were stranded at a motel off the turnpike. Fran snapped this photo of the motel room carpet while we waited for the car to be fixed.

Featuring singles "Flame The Main” and "Tracing Circles,” Culture Fever is album 3 from The Erly. Featuring all members on lead vocals, Culture Fever finds the nostalgic indie combo at their most retro, with enough chutzpah to keep it from being tacky. Produced by Nick Rapley (Bartees Strange, Lizzie No).
