Background
During an interview on the podcast Toy Heart with Tom Power,Krauss announced a new album with Union Station would be released in 2025. [1] The album,Arcadia,was officially announced on January 29,and will release on March 28,2025 via Down the Road records. Russell Moore joins the band for this album and subsequent tour,replacing longtime member Dan Tyminski,who was unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts,though one of his songs is covered on the project. In a statement regarding the album,Krauss explained "the stories of the past are told in this music. It's that whole idea of 'in the good old days when times were bad.' There's so much bravery and valor and loyalty and dreaming,of family and themes of human existence that were told in a certain way when our grandparents were alive. Someone asked me,'How do you sing these tragic tunes? I have to. It's a calling. I feel privileged to be a messenger of somebody else's story. And I want to hear what happened." Krauss also revealed that "Looks Like the End of the Road",the album's first single which was released alongside the announcement,was the first track she found,which then made the rest of the record "fall into place",noting that the song "felt so alive,I could hear the guys already playing it."

"Granite Mills",the album's second single,features new member Moore on vocals. Discussing the track,Krauss explained "Jerry,Ron,Barry and I all met when Dan Tyminski left the band,and Jerry asked me,'What do you think?' I said,'Russell Moore,' and they all said,'Absolutely!' I couldn't believe it when we went into the studio and his voice came through the speakers. He just stands there and sings with his hands in his pockets,and he kills it. The first song he did was 'Granite Mills' and about 10 minutes in,Ron was covering his mouth because he started giggling. Russell came in and inspired us all." [3]
