Love And Theft Release ‘Better Off,’ Their First New Collection In Seven Years

Nearly seven years since their last release, country duo Love and Theft have shared their new full-length project Better Off via global music provider ONErpm.

Comprised of Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles, the pair have returned with a six-song EP which they wrote and produced themselves. For Better Off, they pulled from their classic rock and gospel influences, leaning into the sounds of The Eagles, The Beatles, The Doobie Brothers and The Gaither Vocal Band.

The EP’s title track was co-written with Jared Mullins and Christopher Stevens. Bridging the gap between the sound Love and Theft is known for and where the duo’s music is headed, “Better Off,” is an acoustic guitar-driven track. The project also includes the ’80s-influenced “Accidentally on Purpose,” mid-tempo pop rockers “Anyway” and “Tell Me What It Feels Like,” and more.

Founded in 2006, Love and Theft spent their first five years as a trio, releasing top 10 single “Runaway” in 2009. After becoming a duo in 2011, they released their second album, featuring No. 1 “Angel Eyes.” The Platinum-selling duo has notched six top 25 radio singles and more than a million followers on social media.

Better Off Track List:
1. Accidentally On Purpose (Bree Doster, Eric Gunderson, Stephen Barker Liles)
2. Better Off (Eric Gunderson, Jared Mullins, Stephen Barker Liles)
3. Anyway (Eric Gunderson, Jared Mullins, Stephen Barker Liles)
4. Downhill (Stevie Monce, John Satterfield, Eric Gunderson, Stephen Barker Liles)
5. Mirror, Mirror (Bree Doster, Eric Gunderson, Stephen Barker Liles)
6. Tell Me What It Feels Like (Miro Goto, Eric Gunderson, Stephen Barker Liles)
