Broncho Announces 1st New Album In 6 Years ‘Natural Pleasure’ & Share 2 Enigmatic Singles

Broncho are set to return with their first album in six years, Natural Pleasure, arriving on April 25. The band previewed the record with the first two tracks, “Funny” and “Imagination.”

Natural Pleasure follows Broncho’s October 2018 album, Bad Behavior. The band — vocalist/guitarist Ryan Lindsey, bassist Penny Pitchlynn, drummer Nathan Price and guitarist Ben King — captured most of the album in their native Oklahoma at Blackwatch Studios in Norman with Chad Copelin before completing Natural Pleasure at the renowned Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.

“Tulsa remains their spiritual home, a city whose musical lineage—from Leon Russell and JJ Cale to The Flaming Lips—infuses every note they play,” as per press materials for the new record.

On the new singles:

“From the opening tracks ‘Imagination’ and ‘Funny,’ Natural Pleasure sets the stage for a sonic journey defined by playfulness and introspection. ‘Imagination’ envelops listeners with layered production and Lindsey’s understated yet captivating vocals, pulling them into a divine haze of possibility.”

Lindsey wrote “Imagination” “in the early hours of a pandemic morning in my garage. I imagine the whole neighborhood might have heard me writing that one.” Describing “Funny,” Lindsey said “although none of our songs are written about any one subject, ‘Funny’ is loosely based on my ability to steal my girlfriend’s jokes.”
