Brothers Osborne live it up every way they can in “Sun Ain’t Even Gone Down Yet,” a bright and boisterous track from their upcoming self-titled album, out September 15.

On the tune, singer TJ Osborne paints a hard-partying picture of drinking hard and living fast over a funky-tonk backdrop of guitars and thwapping drums. Then he and his guitarist brother John join their voices to finish the tableau: “If a cold libation’s any indication, we’re gonna have a hell of a night,” they sing. “The day’s about as good as good can get and the sun ain’t even gone down yet.” You can even hear their friends hooting and hollering in the background, as John plays some tasteful licks.

Since April, the brothers have been releasing tracks from the album, including “Might as Well Be Me,” “Rollercoaster (Forever and a Day),” “Nobody’s Nobody,” and “Goodbye’s Kickin’ In.” Producer Mike Elizondo, whose credits include music by Dr. Dre, Twenty-One Pilots, and Lin-Manuel Mirada, helmed the album. Drummer Abe Laboriel Jr., who’s best known for backing up Paul McCartney, sat behind the kit. The album’s only guest is Miranda Lambert, who sings background on “We Ain’t Good at Breakin’ Up.”

“We’ve always had a lot of mystery intentionally around the things we have done, but with this album, we decided to be all in,” T.J. said in a statement. “And doing that reminded me of what it was like when I first started playing music, when it was an outlet for my angst or just a way to have fun.”

“Since our last record, we’ve been very forthcoming with who we are,” John said. “By acknowledging T.J.’s personal life and my mental-health struggles, we are more ourselves creatively and publicly than we’ve ever been.”

The brothers will tour in support of the album, the followup to 2020’s Skeletons, this summer with dates running through October. Ticketing info is on the group’s website.
