A new single and music video are out today

Kevin Morby announced his new album This Is A Photograph set to be released on May 13 via the label Dead Oceans.

To accompany the album announcement, Morby also shared the album’s title track and accompanying video. In the title track, Morby sings in a spoken word fashion over a rustic guitar riff that crescendos into a funky breakdown. The video features vintage pictures from Morby’s life and family, flashing before the audience in a montage. Inspiration for this concept came from Morby flipping through a box of family photos in the basement of his Kansas City childhood home while his father was sick in the hospital.

 

When discussing the track, Morby says: “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.”

Shortly after the release of the new album, Morby plans on an international tour kicking off on May 20 in Madrid. The European leg of the tour extends throughout late September with the North American portion beginning in San Francisco on September 29. More information can be found below.
