About
Lazarus Lake, the alt-country outfit of singer/songwriter Michael Jones, arrives with its debut record Family Tree, out May 30th, 2025 on Kindness Records. Blending homespun southern rock with the no-frills directness of Americana tradition, Family Tree explores the ties that bind and the ways that they’re strained—with an eye to redeem the moments when life falls apart and to keep alive the memory of loved ones lost. Woven throughout the record is a heartfelt throughline that charts the legacy of family since passed. “Nissan Frontier” uses the titular vehicle as a symbol for Jones’ relationship with his aunt, and the sibling title tracks that bookend the record explore Jones’ relationship with his grandfather and father. This isn't to say, though, that Family Tree lacks style, humor, or emotional weight, whether it’s the tuba performed by Jones on the centerpiece track “Glaciers,” the sly narrative ambiguity of first single “Someone New,” or the rollicking irreverence of second single “Ford Ranger." Covering adoration, regret, grief, and everything in between, these songs frame the simple, elegant core of the album: even as it ends—and regardless of how you feel about it at any given time—your family is forever. lazaruslakeband.com
