Recorded this November in Brooklyn, NY, with producer Josh Kaufmann, “Entitlement” b/w “A Snake In The Shower” marks the first new music from The Hold Steady in nearly four years as well as the first studio recording to feature longtime keyboard player Franz Nicolay since 2008’s beloved fourth album, STAY POSITIVE.

“Entitlement” b/w “A Snake In The Shower” arrives just as The Hold Steady wrap up “Massive Nights,” a remarkable four-show run at the Brooklyn Bowl celebrating the music, community, and positivity that has defined the band since its very beginning.
