The Lumineers joins host Raina Douris

When you’ve spent two decades working together, it can be easy to fall back on the same old songs – but for Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers, the chance to self-produce their new album, Automatic, meant they had a whole new level of creative freedom. They’ll talk about the record and The Lumineers perform live on the World Cafe.

Listen to the session here.
