WATCH: Trampled By Turtles Share Video/Song For Jeff Tweedy Penned “A Lifetime To Find”

Trampled By Turtles has released a video for their new song “A Lifetime To Find” from the forthcoming album Alpenglow (out on October 28th via Thirty Tigers). The track was written by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, who produced the group’s upcoming release.

The video features a series of Polaroids shot of the band, producer, and all involved during the recording of Alpenglow at Wilco’s Chicago studio, The Loft.  Tweedy says, “When TBT was in the studio, I had this song but I wasn’t sure it was going to be a Wilco song or not, but I knew with their instrumentation they would do a great job with ‘A Lifetime To Find.’ I’m glad it found a place on both of our records.” Trampled By Turtles leader Dave Simonett adds, “It was a real honor for us to record one of Jeff’s songs. I love the story he tells and the way he tells it. A conversation with death – who hasn’t had one of those?”

The result of this collaboration is one of the celebrated sextet’s strongest albums to date with Alpenglow. Simonett’s thoughtful songwriting and warm, weathered vocals are perfectly complimented by bandmates Erik Berry (mandolin), Ryan Young (fiddle), Dave Carroll (banjo), Tim Saxhaug (bass) and Eamonn McLain (cello) as they have done for almost two decades. “I enjoy TBT’s musicianship and ability to stick hard inside a genre, all the while stretching that same genre,” Tweedy offers. “It’s like you need to infiltrate it before you can pull it apart. They have a brotherly thing going on, too, which is always a great feel.”
