Kevin Morby has announced a new album. The follow-up to 2020’s Sundowner is called This Is a Photograph; it’s out May 13 via Dead Oceans. He’s also announced a world tour. Check out the video for the album’s title track and his upcoming tour dates below.
The new album was produced by Morby’s frequent collaborator Sam Cohen. It features contributions from Cassandra Jenkins, Makaya McCraven, Tim Heidecker, Alia Shawkat, and more. It was partially recorded at Cohen’s upstate New York studio with additional sessions in Memphis at Sam Philip’s Recording Co.
“Sam Cohen and I wanted to throw everything at the wall with this one,” Morby said in a statement. “It’s about the battle every family faces, that of chasing the clock, to live our lives and hold onto one another for as long as possible. That, and, the dreams that come with being a young family in America and where those dreams eventually end up.”
