Kevin Morby released an excellent album, Singing Saw, just last year via Dead Oceans, but he’s already releasing a new one, City Music, on June 16 also via Dead Oceans. Previously he shared a lyric video for City Music‘s first single, “Come to Me Now.” He also shared a new song not found on either album, “Bag of Rats,” as part of the “Our First 100 Days” anti-Donald Trump project. He also announced a world tour in support of City Music. Now he has shared another song from the album, “1234.” Listen below, followed by his upcoming tour dates.

City Music is Morby’s fourth album. A previous press release described it as “full of listless wanderlust, it’s a collection inspired by and devoted to the metropolitan experience across America and beyond by a songwriter cast from his own mold.”

In the previous press release Morby said the album “is a mixtape, a fever dream, a love letter dedicated to those cities that I cannot get rid of, to those cities that are all inside of me.”

Morby added: “Here, Lou Reed and Patti Smith stare out at the listener. Stretched out on a living room floor they are somewhere in mid-‘70s Manhattan, also smoking cigarettes.”
