Composed of brothers Mason, Barrett and Lincoln Lankford and longtime family friend Caleb Pace, Folk Family Revival wrapped up recording work for its third full-length album in late September.

The Montgomery County-based band originally formed in 2010, and the group’s first record, “Unfolding,” debuted in 2011, Barrett said.

“The first record definitely had more of that folk element, as far as instrumentation and writing style,” Barrett said. “This one definitely errs more toward psychedelic rock 'n’ roll.”

Although the third record—which is still untitled—might sound less folksy, the band stands by its name, Mason said.

“The name—Folk Family Revival—was like a genre because we didn’t know what to call our genre,” Mason said. “We were playing heavy rock 'n’ roll stuff … we really didn’t know what we sounded like yet. We just had the idea to do it based on the songs we were writing.”

Recording its latest album in Austin presented a more relaxed experience for the band, Barrett said. What would usually feel like work seemed more enjoyable, he said.

“[Recording] has always been fun and enjoyable, but it always had an element of feeling like you were checking into your day job,” Barrett said. “This one—the guys running it—did a really good job of making everything really comfortable.”

The group writes all of its own songs, with the exception of a few covers during its shows, Mason said.

“Mostly, it’s all just original music, and we’ll write with other people sometimes,” Mason said. “This new record we’re putting out, I was thinking about writing credits, [and] this one song has seven writers on it.”

Although the new record has more of a rock influence, the band has found a way to simplify its sound, Mason said.

“We figured out how to get in the beat together,” Mason said. “Our first record had all these different players on it that were just [musicians who] our producer called and was like, ‘This guy can play the mandolin or fiddle.’ Now, it’s like we’ve figured out how to find a groove with minimal instrumentation.”

Over the next few weeks, Folk Family Revival will be promoting its forthcoming album while touring across the country with Grand Rapids, Michigan-based band Watching for Foxes, Mason said.

“With this one, I feel like every song on it, we all enjoy it,” Mason said. “It’s not just that we’re putting it on there because maybe people might like it. We believe in every lyric.”
