I Need A New War is Craig Finn’s fourth solo record. Like Faith in the Future and We All Want the Same Things, I Need a New War is produced by Josh Kaufman and features Finn ruminating, creating deeply detailed character studies, and exploring human connections. About the album, Finn said:
“Going in, I saw this record as the third part of a trilogy. Thematically, this was the third group of songs that I had written about smaller moments – people trying to stay afloat in modern times, attempting to find connection, achieving tiny triumphs and frustrating let downs in their day to day lives.”
