Indie-folk trio Good Old War just released their third full-length album Come Back as Rain.

The songs are "jams". The harmonies are rich. And they would have named themselves "Crosby, Stills and Nash", but hey.

Come Back as Rain was recorded last spring in Mike Mogis’ (Bright Eyes, Cursive) Omaha, Neb. studio and was produced by Jason Cupp.

The album will be the band’s first since their self-titled effort in 2010. Vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Keith Goodwin said the album was inspired by “that longing for home that happens when you’re away all the time.”

According to guitarist, vocalist and Good Old War co-founder Dan Schwartz, the album does a great job of capturing the band’s onstage energy.

“When we play live, it’s really natural and energetic and in your face,” Schwartz said. “With the new record we’ve found a way to capture that live feel like never before. So even though this one’s got some heavier material, there’s still something upbeat and joyous there.”

In celebration of the album’s announcement, Good Old War also released an exclusive song premiere through Paste. The song is titled “Calling Me Names” and appears as the second track on Come Back as Rain, and you can listen to it below where you can also see the album’s track list.
