Atlantic Records is proud to release Aurora (Deluxe) – buy/stream here – the highly-anticipated, extended debut from Daisy Jones & The Six.
The 20-track LP includes all 11 original album cuts, plus recent standalone singles – such as the beloved “Aurora (Live from SNL)” – and previously-unreleased fan favorites, including the stunning acoustic demo of “The River” and storied renditions of “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb)” and “The River (ft. Simone Jackson)” – both Live from Soldier Field – 1977.
Co-written and produced by GRAMMY®-winning songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills (Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, John Legend, Perfume Genius), Aurora (Deluxe) arrives following massive demand from fans for new music – a demand which has only continued to grow since the Prime Video Original Series’ final episodes aired in late March.
The extended LP marks the latest addition to Daisy Jones & The Six’s growing catalog, which has amassed over 150 million global streams across platforms.
Taken from page to screen to recording studio, Aurora – the original, 11-song record – marked the debut LP from the titular band of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s beloved, New York Times bestselling novel Daisy Jones & The Six.
Aurora was released to tremendous acclaim from critics and fans alike in early March, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart, #4 on the Billboard Vinyl Albums & Americana/Folk Albums charts, #9 on Top Current Albums, #10 on Top Albums, and more. Daisy Jones & The Six themselves debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart – becoming the first act from a scripted series or film to do so. (They also became the first such act to hit #1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart.)
Also released in March was the standout Amazon Original version of “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb),” performed by Marcus Mumford & Maren Morris. Originally released exclusively via Amazon Music, that version will be available on all platforms beginning June 16.
‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ debuted as the #1 Prime Video series upon its March 3 premiere, and boasted a massive 1.5 billion social impressions within the first 3 days of the show’s rollout (watch all 10 episodes of the limited series here). The highly-anticipated series arrived via Amazon Studios and Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine, who optioned Reid’s work in 2018 – before Daisy Jones & The Six ever even hit bookshelves. Upon the novel’s release in early 2019, it received coveted recognition as a ‘Reese’s Book Club Pick.’
With over 25 original songs, co-written by GRAMMY®-winning songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills, Aurora and other music from throughout Daisy Jones & The Six boasts co-writing credits from several of the biggest names in music, including Marcus Mumford and Jackson Browne, with additional production from renowned record producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird), and alongside instrumentalists from The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Elton John, Jeff Beck, The Wallflowers, and more. Other co-writers on Aurora include Chris Weisman, Ethan Gruska, and Z Berg, among others.
Mills – who also executive produced the music from the series – recorded the entirety of Aurora with Keough and Claflin at Sound City Studios. The iconic Van Nuys, CA space – now jointly run by Mills and Berg – also serves as the backdrop in both the book and limited series for the creation of the album.

This is the story of how an iconic band imploded at the height of its powers.
