San Francisco-based band Tumbleweed Wanderers have finally completed work on their sophomore full-length studio album. Realize, which the group started recording in the spring of 2014, is due out this summer. Today, Tumbleweed Wanderers have shared a video for the album’s first single -“Bad Blood.”

“(Tumbleweed Wanderers) demoed over twenty songs in a San Francisco mansion they turned into a home studio, and then cut fifteen basic tracks at the brand new Panoramic Studios in Stinson Beach. The band then took these sessions back to their home studio where they incessantly overdubbed, rearranged, and tweaked the songs for months on end, layering walls of harmonies, guitars, and keyboards, and even bringing in additional vocalists, a string quintet, and pedal steel for some tunes. After whittling the record down to the tightest eleven songs, they recruited Brian Deck (Iron & Wine, Modest Mouse) to provide the fresh ears and creative spark needed to mix the record and Brian Lucey (Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys) to master the album, giving it the rock and roll sheen they sought,” reads a statement announcing the album.

Check out the video for “Bad Blood,” which was filmed at Stinson Studios:

The band will hit the road for a series of dates in California next month.
