FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6 (NEW YORK, NY) - Today, The War And Treaty, who have been hailed as “one of the most exciting live acts in American roots music” (LA Times), announced their fourth full-length album, Plus One, due out February 14th via Mercury Nashville. On Plus One, The “powerhouse” (TODAY) husband and wife duo, Michael and Tanya Trotter, double down on the powerful sense of togetherness that’s always fueled their music, offering up 18 life-affirming songs aimed at providing a shared experience of hope and healing and much-needed joy. Pre-order the album HERE and listen to “Carried Away” HERE.

“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” Tanya Trotter shares. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved,” Michael Trotter Jr. shares.   

Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Plus One marks The War And Treaty’s follow-up to Lover’s Game—a 2023 LP including standout track “Blank Page” which nabbed a GRAMMY nomination for Best American Roots Song, with The War And Treaty nominated for Best New Artist. To create their most extravagant body of work to date, the duo enlisted their longtime live band and dreamed up a singular sound touched with elements of gospel, bluegrass, contemporary country, classic soul, symphonic pop, folk-rock, and more. Partly made in collaboration with esteemed producers like Jonathan Singleton (Luke Combs, Chase Rice), John Shanks (Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow), and Jesse Frasure (Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini), the result is a transcendent album firmly rooted in their timeless musicality and forward-thinking vision. 

The tracklisting’s myriad high points include “Love Like Whiskey,” a soul-soothing portrait of a love strong enough to overcome any obstacle, co-written by the Trotters and Miranda Lambert, the wildly ecstatic “Called You By Your Name” a breakneck-paced rallying cry influenced by the Black gospel tradition of shout music,“Drink From Me,” featuring virtuoso guitarist Billy Strings, “Leads Me Home,” which they performed on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, “Stealing a Kiss,” which they performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, “Can I Get An Amen,” which they performed at the People’s Choice Country Awards, and “Carried Away,” out today.
