The Mallett Brothers Band traverses American highways and dive bars in “Outer Limits,” which drops on March 21st as the final single from their forthcoming album Higher Up in the Hills (out April 4th).

This spirited call to adventure marries the band’s signature roots-rock sound with an irresistible wanderlust that taps directly into post-pandemic liberation. The track name-checks beloved venues from coast to coast — from Boulder’s Quixote’s to Memphis’s P&H Cafe — creating a road map of the band’s extensive touring history.

“It’s sort of a call to adventure about getting out of your comfort zone, reconnecting with people, expanding your perspective, reading books, and listening to records,” explains Will Mallett.

“This is just a feel-good song for when you’ve been hangin’ at the house a little more than you used to,” adds Luke Mallett. ‘It’s sort of a call to adventure about getting out of your comfort zone, reconnecting with people, expanding your perspective, reading books and listening to records, and dusting off the old banjo.”

The track also provides the album’s title in the lyric, “Get higher up in the hills than I’ve ever been, than I’ll ever be,” a fitting sentiment for a band that has spent fifteen years pushing boundaries while remaining firmly rooted in their New England heritage.
