The Lumineers have been nominated in two different categories for the Grammy awards, but the band have admitted that the news left them confused.
Drummer Jeremiah Fraites said that he was originally suspicious when he found out, as the band have had such a good year that it seemed like pushing their luck for more good things to happen.
He told Rolling Stone, "When you have so many things going for you, you start to get wary. I get a little suspicious."
Fraites continued, "When things are bad, there's only one way to go: up. When things are good, there's only one way to go: down. You start to be, ‘What's going on right now? Grammys? Is this a joke?'"
He finished by saying, "[The Grammy nominations] were this great moment that means a lot of people have heard this record or will hear this record. [When] you work really hard on something, you hope somebody hears it.
"You don't know how many good records you have inside of you. The Grammy thing slipped in and snuck up on me where I almost started to buy into it. I think you want to try and have your own value where you don't look at those accolades."

The band's frontman, Wesley Schultz, did say that he found it weird that the band had been nominated for Best New Music, considering that they've been working on their music for nearly eight years.
He told The Hollywood Reporter, "It's hard to say that we're 'new' ... We've never been represented or promoted in any real way until we put out this record.
"People listen to a lot of different music. Spotify proves that, iPods prove that, radio stations don't prove that."
