Lyrical maverick and unrelenting vocalist Colby Acuff will release his latest project, American Son, in August 2024. 

"Maybe it was the state of mind I was in, coming out of a grueling touring year in 2023," Acuff shared of the personal LP. "It was a trying time. My Dad was terminally ill. I was looking around, taking stock of a lot of things - and it put me in a very weird place. I started pouring a lot into the songs, being very brutally honest. I wanted to make a record that really said something."

With American Son, Acuff more than delivers. Working with producer/engineer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile), they've created a robust, acoustic-forward power punch that packs a force as ambient as it is unvarnished. Throughout the 16 tracks, Acuff lands like a drop of bleach in greasy water. Inducing clarity in the bombast, he harvests the reckoning of an indulgent world that refuses to own consequences - and throws light on realities too long ignored.

The album also features How Do I Feel Alive, with rising sibling trio The Castellows, as well as Acuff's take on Leonard Cohen's Suzanne.
