MIXED EMOTIONS TEE + your choice of LP or CD Release Date: 9 May 2025 Icelandic band KALEO will release their highly anticipated third studio album, MIXED EMOTIONS on May 9th via Atlantic Records. The band also announced a headline US tour with dates including a headline show at Red Rocks and festival performances including Bottlerock. Produced by GRAMMY® Award Winner Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell) and co-produced by frontman JJ Julius Son and GRAMMY® Award Winner Shawn Everett (The Killers, Kacey Musgraves), MIXED EMOTIONS is a landmark rock album tackling themes from ending gun violence to overcoming despair. MIXED EMOTIONS is KALEO’s most ambitious album yet and it hits hard and digs deep in its mission for us to embrace our full spectrum of emotions during these trying times. Guitars crunch, and drums pound on timeless hit singles including high-octane adrenaline fueled “Rock N Roller,” and newly released rocker “Back Door,” songs which show us how to let the good times roll even when the times are hard. Elsewhere, KALEO display sonic restraint. Drawing inspiration from folk and American roots, subtle plucked acoustic guitars ring over haunting pedal steals on single “Lonely Cowboy.” With slow building anthem “USA Today,” KALEO unleashes a sound more impassioned, and thought-provoking. Throughout JJ’s distinct and world class vocals shine, sharing potent stories of overcoming adversity and finding peace within.
