Carson McHone has announced her new album, Pentimento, and shared its first single, “Winter Breaking.” Pentimento is due out September 12 via Merge. Check out the new single and album details below.

This is McHone’s first full-length since her sophomore offering Still Life in 2022. She also released the four track EP ODES last year. The video for “Winter Breaking,” directed by McHone, features the art and work of ceramicist Alejandra Almuelle as its primary focus

McHone spoke on Pentimento in a press release. “This project continues to be, really, a community effort. What began as a methodical structuring of personal artifacts kept speaking of collaboration, which allowed me to open up the process to others and bring it to life. Making the initial recording brought together a group of six musicians, but the project has expanded to include a web of many artists and disciplines. If my last album, Still Life, represents a static moment, a pause before a pivot, Pentimento is the natural next step. It’s full of movement—through time and space, through many forms… It’s a project that engages with shadow, with impulse, with paradox, and with play. I hope the record illustrates the process of integrating these things, of acknowledging the complexity of being/becoming. I am so happy to start releasing this out into the world now. So, we begin at the top, with the very opening of the album: ‘Winter Breaking.’”

McHone will begin a summer tour in Europe with some dates supporting collaborator Daniel Romano in July. She then comes back to North America for a special album release show at In the Soil Arts Festival: Harvesting the Soil in Catharines, ON and then begins a month-long residency in Texas in October.
