With Pullman<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited III<\/em> just around the corner, and following the dazzling and dreamy \u2018Weightless<\/a>\u2019, the storied Chicago-based acoustic supergroup have unveiled a beauty of a second single. Titled ‘Kabul’, the track builds on their unique blend of ambient folk and post-rock with even more intricate layers of instrumentation and gently hypnotic rhythms. As the band’s Chris Brokaw describes, the song\u2019s creation process is a blend of influences and collaboration:<\/p>\n

“Kabul. Dig deep. Banjo nod to the East. Throw it in the mail and into Bundy\u2018s blender. Back to the boys and out into the ether. Boiling weeds for soup ain\u2019t no way to live.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is a sense of playful experimentation in ‘Kabul’, aligned with the spirit of the album itself, one that was shaped by friendship and endurance. After more than two decades, the band\u2019s bond has been tested and strengthened over time, especially after drummer Tim Barnes was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s in 2021. The album, and as the press release describes, “carries forward the group\u2019s signature intimacy and space while embodying the spirit of community that has always defined their work.”<\/p>\n

III<\/em> is one of the most anticipated releases of 2026 and we can’t wait for it to drop on January 9th through Western Vinyl<\/a>. Now check out the accompanying video for ‘Kabul’.<\/p>\n
