The free-wheelin’ rock ‘n’ soul trio DeWolff have announced their new studio album ‘Muscle Shoals’, which was recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama. The album will be released on 6 December via Mascot Records.

Nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River, just south of Nashville and east of Memphis sits the town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. In the 1960s with the help of two recording studios, FAME and the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, it became home to the Soul of America.

FAME Studios saw the birth of Aretha Franklin as the Queen of Soul when she sat at the piano and laid down, "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)"; There was also Arthur Conley, Wilson Pickett, and Etta James. A little more than two miles up the road is Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, which saw Cher, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Dylan all come through the doors and all the way up to The Black Keys when they recorded the Grammy-winning, 'Brothers,' there in 2010.

When the opportunity for DeWolff to head to Muscle Shoals to record it was a dream come true. "Even before we were into Southern Rock, as a kid, Luka got an album of Southern Soul, and most of it was recorded at FAME." says singer/guitarist Pablo van de Poel of his brother. "Our introduction to Soul didn't start with James Brown; we started with Wilson Pickett.”

In May 2024, they travelled to Muscle Shoals to record their 10th studio album between the two studios with Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes). "You can really feel some kind of rock 'n roll magic in the air there," Pablo adds. "Right when we played our first notes there, I got goosebumps. This definitely was one of the best recording experiences we've ever had. Even the grand piano Leon Russell used was still there, just like the electric Wurlitzer piano that was used on "I Never Loved A Man" by Aretha Franklin!"

Over the past 18 months, the enchanting psychedelic soul ‘n' rollers have preached their Electric Gospel on a cruise, in a castle, sold out countless headline tours across Europe and transformed festival crowds into their own disciples. They've toured with The Black Crowes and have previously played shows with Blues Pills, Deep Purple, TOTO, and count Seasick Steve as a fan.

Muscle Shoals, follows their previous #1 studio album Love Death & In Between (2023) and since then they have celebrated a Edison Award nomination (The Dutch Grammy's), released Live & Outta Sight III, and also received the live music award, the 'Gouden Notekraker.' In June 2023, they produced the world's fastest Studio-to-store record - 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 38 seconds for "Rosita Rápida", beating the record previously held by Jack White.

Formed in the Netherlands' Deep South of Geleen as teenagers, Pablo van de Poel (guitar/vocals) and Luka van de Poel (drums/vocals), alongside Robin Piso (Hammond/Wurlitzer), have carved out a place for themselves as carefree adventurers; prolific in the studio and well-worn road-rovers. "It sounds like a fantasy story," Pablo reflects. " 17 years ago, my mind would have never dared to go there to think of all the things we’ve done and places we’ve seen.”
