Cordovas

Tennessee-based band Cordovas have announced plans for their new album Destiny Hotel, which follows the group’s 2018 ATO Records debut, That Santa Fe Channel. Set for release via ATO on October 16th, the album’s easygoing lead single “High Feeling” is out now.

Infused with the same sun-kissed energy that powers the Allman Brothers Band’s “Blue Sky,” “High Feeling” is as unhurried and amiable as it gets, featuring perky splashes of piano and bright Hammond B3 organ. “You give me that high kind of feeling/I don’t want to come down,” sings Cordovas vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Joe Firstman, backed by his mates Sevans Henderson, Lucca Soria, and Toby Weaver.

“We just wanted to write something true and easy,” Firstman says of writing and arranging the song. “That was the vibe from the very beginning.”

Black Pumas’ Adrian Quesada provided additional production, guitar, and mixing work on “High Feeling,” while Black Pumas’ touring members Angela Miller and Lauren Cervantes add some heavenly backing vocals to the mix.
