Vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. After dark country trio Lost Dog Street Band released it's 2022 album Glory, bandleader Benjamin Tod decided it was time to retire the project. Tod, alongside his wife Ashley Mae (fiddle), had been working together as a band since 2011. But just a month after recording a solo project in January of 2023, Tod felt an urge to revisit the project one more time. "I thought I was done with Lost Dog, but after recording my solo album, I looked over all the songs that I had ready for a new record. These were songs for my band. I had to admit to myself that I wasn't done with Lost Dog." Though there was heartbreak at the prospect of the project coming to an end, it's resurrection has meant all the more in this new context. "Benjamin and I, both individually and together, have been through some professionally grinding and demoralizing personal times over the past five years," Ashley Mae explains. "To take a step back from that over the past year and realize, 'Wow, we held it down and withstood that, and we survived that,' was a really good, bright, shining moment. It was the high point during a demoralizing time." As such, Survived is a saving grace, a Phoenix rising from the ashes. "This record means everything," adds Tod. "It just feels like salvation."
