Flatland Cavalry Slates Deluxe LP ‘Work Of Heart – Heartstrings’ For October

/by

Flatland Cavalry are releasing a deluxe edition of their fifth studio album, Work of Heart – Heartstrings, on Oct. 2 via Lost Highway.

The deluxe edition adds five new songs to the collection, and a new track from the expanded project titled “Strangers & Angels” will drop on Friday (Sept. 4.)

“We recorded 17 songs when we went into the studio to record Work Of Heart,” shares frontman Cleto Cordero. “It wasn’t easy separating these songs into two factions – the standard and the deluxe – but, per usual, leaning upon intuition, I knew Heartstrings was raising its hand to be set apart. It came from a musical idea our pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Adam Gallegos, brought to the table. On one of our days off we got together alongside Reid [Dillon] and Jason [Albers] and chased it down. To me, it sounded like a classic love song and brought forth the image of one following his heart, floating through a relationship on Cloud 9; not weary of naysayers claiming he’s ‘trippin.’ If we’re to trip, tripping on heartstrings seems a noble way to fall.”

Tonight, the band kicks off their run as support on Kacey Musgraves’ “Middle of Nowhere Tour” with two nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Their own “Work of Heart Tour” rolls on through the end of 2026, with five dates left.
