Kevin Morby has released "Die Young", the reflective second single from his upcoming eighth album, Little Wide Open.

"Die Young" follows lead single "Javelin", and features violins from Mat Davidson (Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker) as Morby reflects on his own past recklessness while expressing gratitude for the present. The track arrives alongside a music video directed by Zak Gorsuch, Chantal Anderson, and Morby.

Discussing the new track, Morby explains: “A lot of this album is me reflecting on my time spent on the road as an adult. Being a touring musician as a career has made for a sometimes complicated lifestyle and in so many ways has proven to be pretty dangerous. I started doing this professionally when I was 19 and sometimes I can’t believe that 20 years later I’m still here. This song acts as a love letter not only to the road and all of my travel companions over the past two decades, but also to Katie, who I met playing shows when we were very young. Sometimes it’s amazing to zoom out and remember where we began compared to where we’re at today - both as romantic partners and songwriters.”

Little Wide Open is released on 15 May via Dead Oceans
