Kimberley, BC-based folk-roots duo The Eisenhauers return with “Something’s Gotta Give”, the soul-stirring second single from their forthcoming sophomore album Back Burner, out September 12 via Black Hen Music.
Written by Sheree Plett Eisenhauer, "Something's Gotta Give" is a laid-back, introspective blend of folk and country, carried by the duo’s signature warm harmonies and an unflinching honesty about the precariousness of love.
“The song came from a place of real uncertainty about our relationship but the both of us hoping for some kind of shift to make things better,” says Sheree. “The unknown can be a scary place, especially when you’re not sure where things are headed. Writing this song helped make sense of that feeling and became a way for us to process what once was familiar and what we needed to change to move forward.”
The second chapter in the Back Burner story, “Something’s Gotta Give” captures the emotional crossroads that defined Sheree and Jeremy Eisenhauer’s recent years – a period where music itself became the bridge back to one another. The album chronicles the couple’s near-separation and their ultimate choice to recommit to both their marriage and their craft.
Recorded at Vancouver’s iconic The Warehouse Studio with producer Steve Dawson (who also contributes mandolin, electric, and slide guitar), Back Burner features an all-star lineup including drummer Leon Power (City and Colour, Frazey Ford), bassist Jeremy Holmes, and keyboardist Jen Gunderman (Sheryl Crow). The sessions captured a live-off-the-floor energy, with musicians often playing each song only once before recording, resulting in a raw, immediate sound that complements the album’s emotional weight.
"Something's Gotta Give" is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit theeisenhauers.com.
