Cass McCombs has announced a new album, Interior Live Oak, which will be released on August 15 via Domino. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Peace’, which is wistful yet poised with resolve. “Peace is what we say when we say goodbye,” McCombs sings. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
In making the new album, McCombs was inspired by his return to the Domino label, which released the archival album Seed Cake on Leap Year last year, as well as 4AD’s reissues of early records including Not the Way, A, and Prefection. He worked with some of his earliest collaborators in the Bay Area, including Jason Quever (Papercuts), Chris Cohen, and more. Additional recording in New York City brought contributions from Matt Sweeney and Mike Bones, among others.
Interior Live Oak also features the previously released song ‘Priestess’. McCombs’ last solo studio album was 2022’s Heartmind, though in 2023 he teamed up with Mr Greg, a San Francisco school teacher, for Mr Greg & Cass McCombs Sing and Play New Folk Songs for Children.
