Background and recording

In a press release, band member Wesley Schultz revealed that the album was recorded at the Utopia studios in Woodstock, New York "in less than a month", and further elaborated that the album will "[explore] some of the absurdities of the modern world, like the increasingly blurry line between what's real and what's not, and the variety of ways we numb ourselves while trying to combat both boredom and overstimulation." [1]

A day prior to the album's announcement, the Lumineers posted multiple images on social media that contain what fans speculated to be lyrics from the then-unannounced album over television test cards. [2]

Promotion

The lead single from Automatic, "Same Old Song", was released simultaneously with the album's announcement on January 8, 2025. It was accompanied by a music video for it directed by Anaïs LaRocca. [3]
