Heartland roots country band Flatland Cavalry have announced the pre-order date for their highly anticipated sophomore album HOMELAND INSECURITY. Beginning Friday, December 14, fans can stake their claim to the quintet’s exciting new release.
The Lubbockites set Texas ablaze with their critically lauded debut album HUMBLE FOLKS in
2016. A relentless live act, Flatland Cavalry toured much of the
country over the next two years, only taking a break to record follow-up
HOMELAND INSECURITY.
Frontman Cleto Cordero again took the helm as the principal songwriter
on the new album. There’s an uneasiness in his voice when even broaching
the subject of cookie-cutter songs. You can hear him loosening a tie
around his neck that isn’t there.
“I had a lot I wanted to say,” says Cordero. “I knew there was a better
way of saying it. I didn’t want to write at the same pace I was at
during HUMBLE FOLKS. And I don’t want to write at this pace in the future.”
The band released the first new song from the album, “Honeywine” in August, which Wide Open Country called
“bright and bubbling with a young love confidence.” Flatland Cavalry
then released “Living By Moonlight” at the end of October. HOMELAND INSECURITY will
be available everywhere beginning Friday, January 18, 2019. The road
warriors are already putting together another year of exciting live
shows.

About Flatland Cavalry:
Formed in Fall 2012, Lubbock’s Flatland Cavalry straddles the line
between the Panhandle and the badlands of West Texas with their bright,
earthy country ballads and gritty folk ramblers. With guitarist Reid
Dillon, fiddler Wesley Hall, bassist Jonathan Saenz, and drummer Jason
Albers joining vocalist Cleto Cordero, “Flatland” quickly began to
garner the attention of the masses with dusty, sun-soaked character
sketches, brooding self-evaluations, and candid love songs that all have
the ability to turn into sing-along anthems. The band released their
debut EP COME MAY in 2015 and in 2016, debut full-length HUMBLE FOLKS peaked at No. 38 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
