Eric Church Announces New Album ‘Evangeline Vs. The Machine’

Eric Church has announced that his new album, Evangeline Vs. The Machine, will be released on May 2 via EMI Nashville.

Speaking about the the much-awaited record, Church said, “An album is a snapshot in time that lasts for all time. I believe in that time-tested tradition of making records that live and breathe as one piece of art – I think it’s important.”

He added, “I’ve always let creativity be the muse. It’s been a compass for me. The people that I look up to in my career and the kind of musicians I gravitate to never did what I thought they were going to do next – and I love them for it. I never want our fans to get an album and go, ‘Oh, that’s like Chief or that’s like this.’ Painstakingly, I lose sleep at night to try to make sure that whatever we do creatively, they go, ‘Wow, that’s not what I thought.’ I think that’s my job as an artist.”

Along with the announcement, Church also shared the lead single, “Hands Of Time,” which is set to make its debut on country radio on March 24th.

About the track, Church said, “As I get older, I’m looking for things that make me feel not as old. I can honestly say that when I hear music or see something from my past, I feel like I did then; I relate to what it was then. I really believe that a good way to handle that is with music.”

Evangeline vs. The Machine marks the country music singer-songwriter’s first album since the Heart & Soul trilogy, released in 2021.
