{"product_id":"as_is","title":"As Is","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs Is is the tenth studio album by Josiah and the Bonnevilles — the moniker of Ohio-born singer-songwriter Josiah Leming — released on May 8, 2026 through Rounder Records, marking his first major-label full-length since 2023's Endurance. Produced by Konrad Snyder (known for his work with Noah Kahan and Ben Rector) and Leming himself, the album was recorded at The Study in Tennessee in October 2025 and draws from a pool of nearly 100 songs written over the preceding year and a half, with only ten ultimately making the cut. The record features the most co-writes of Leming's career, with collaborators including Natalie Hemby, Marc Scibilia, and others, and leans more electric than his previous work while remaining rooted in the Americana and roots tradition. Thematically, Rounder Records describes the album as drawing from \"hard-won experiences featuring songs full of reflection, resilience, heartbreak and love,\" with a deliberate focus on working-class lives and community — Leming intentionally stepped back from being the central character, crafting vignettes meant to let listeners inhabit the emotion rather than observe the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePopMatters called the album Leming's \"arrival\" set, praising his \"seasoned use of imagery and metaphor\" and his ability to hold simultaneously to an affinity for the tragic and a redemptive, Springsteen-esque vision of love and belonging. Standout tracks include the album opener \"Hell Without the Flames,\" described as the darkest and most lyrically ambitious of Leming's career, the harmonica-heavy \"Mountain Girl\" with its lilting chorus and vivid romantic imagery, and \"Where It Starts,\" a sharp character study with narrative precision that Americana Highways singled out as a highlight. Americana UK awarded the album 8\/10, praising both its storytelling and its refreshingly up-tempo shift in musical style, while noting that Leming has produced an \"all-around top-notch album\" that honors working people with honesty and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53593849692474,"sku":"38350","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53593849725242,"sku":"38351","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-11_at_4.52.47_PM.jpeg?v=1781211338","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/as_is","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
