Kevin Morby has shared a new song called ‘Sundowner’. It’s title track from his upcoming album, which is out October 16 via Dead Oceans. Listen to it below.
Speaking of the inspiration behind the song, Morby said in a press release: “When I first moved back home to Kansas after having lived on both coasts for over a decade, I found myself—for the first time—dreading the sun going down. This was a foreign feeling for me. In both Los Angeles and New York, I resisted the day light and thrived in the night—something I have sung about many times, most notably on my album City Music. But suddenly there I was, isolated in the Midwest in late autumn—the days growing increasingly shorter—chasing the sun as best I could.”
‘Sundowner’, which Morby calls “the center of gravity for the rest of the album”, follows the previously released singles ‘Wander’, ‘Don’t Underestimate Midwest American Sun’, and the Waxahatchee collaboration ‘Campfire’.
