Son Little has announced the release of a new album, Like Neptune, which will be out on September 9 via ANTI-. He has shared two lead singles from the album, “deeper” and “stoned love,” in addition to announcing a North American tour in support of the album. Listen to the new singles and view the album’s tracklist/cover art below, in addition to the full list of tour dates.

Son Little elaborates on what led to the creation of the album in a press release: “In the beginning of lockdown, I went into a closet full of junk and found a couple of boxes full of my old writing books. There turned out to be 72 books in there. The oldest book I got as a Christmas present when I was nine. In it, I wrote letters to myself about what was happening in my life. One page refers to a neighbor in Queens who abused me sexually around age five. It was the first and only time I’d ever acknowledge this fact until after my 19th birthday, when I told my mother what had happened. She begged me to go to therapy. I went under protest. My attempt wasn’t sincere. I wasn’t ready. I thought I could just power through it.

“One day in therapy I started talking to myself—to that annoying inner voice that criticizes everything when you mess up. I asked them how old they were and they said ‘10.’ I asked if they knew who I was, or how old I was and they said ‘no!’ Strange as it all seems it’s had some amazing results. I’m able to soothe and comfort my inner…children.”
