The One Eighties are named for the chronic indecisiveness of founders Autumn Brand and Daniel Cook. Their debut album Minefields (2023) is a feat of tamed extravagance, melding unlikely combinations of acoustic guitars, 80’s synths, orchestral strings, and space-country tones. By contrast, the forthcoming single “Backseat Devil” doubles back toward the naked simplicity of their Americana roots. Exploring themes of alienation, regret, and personal growth, the pending releases can be described as hopeful melancholia inspired by old-time “highway” country, roots rock, and the echoes of Appalachia. Look for new releases and tour dates to be announced for the Spring of 2025.
