The Far West Rises From the Ashes With Long-Awaited Third Album 9/26/25.
The Far West return with Everything We Thought We Wanted, a powerful third album nearly a decade in the making — and one that almost didn’t happen. Marked by personal milestones, lost masters, a pandemic, and a wildfire that nearly destroyed the final recordings, the album is both a survival story and a creative triumph. It's the band’s first release on Blackbird Record Label (September 26th) and their most sonically expansive yet, blending raw, emotionally resonant songwriting with layered production, soulful horns, and special guest appearances, including a blistering guitar turn from Dave Alvin. Channeling the grit of L.A. punk, the heart of classic country, and the soul of Muscle Shoals, The Far West deliver a record that’s lived-in, unflinching, and deeply human — the kind of heartbreak you can dance to.
