A new way to shop: The fashion truck

The Lumineers is a band based in Denver, Colorado. The group released its first album, “The Lumineers,” last April. Recently, the record went gold, meaning 500 thousand copies had been sold.

Faith Lapidus has more on the group, The Lumineers, and the album.

The most popular song from the album is “Ho, Hey.” It is number one on three Billboard singles charts: rock, adult pop and alternative. A lot of people think of “Ho, Hey” as a love song. And, The Lumineers say it is. But, lead singer and guitarist Wesley Schultz says it is also about his personal struggles when he was living and working in New York City.

The three members of The Lumineers were excited when asked to perform at the Grammy nominations concert. But they were also very surprised when they were named as nominees. The band is up for Grammy awards as Best New Artist and Best Americana Album. Drummer Jeremiah Fraites told reporters, “We had no idea.”

Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz grew up in New Jersey and have been playing music together for about eight years. They found cellist Neyla Pekarek, a native of Denver, after they moved to that city.

Critics have mostly praised “The Lumineers.” Some have called the album's sound, “expansive,” and its songs, “inventive.”

Neyla Pekarek told one reporter that the band’s style developed naturally. She said it came from a lot of writing, experimenting and making changes to let the lyrics tell the stories they were meant to tell.
