I Must Be Dreaming is the first new album from Alabama Shakes in more than a decade. The album expands on 2015's album Sound & Color's unfettered exploration, leaning toward a viscerally charged form of psychedelic soul. Produced by Alabama Shakes and their repeat collaborator Shawn Everett, the album came to life at Nashville's Sound Emporium Studios and Blackbird Studio. While the album sustains their signature intensity, it's songs often wander into more lush and otherworldly terrain, revealing a more exacting command of atmosphere and space.
