Kevin Morby shares new single "Come To Me Now", details City Music LP

Morby's upcoming album follows last year's Singing Saw LP, and is his fourth in total. Morby says that his third full-length is like "an old bookshelf with a young Bob and Joni staring back at me, blank and timeless. They live here, in this left side of my brain, smoking cigarettes and playing acoustic guitars while lying on an unmade bed."

In comparison, City Music sees "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... it 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."

"Come To Me Now" features an "old pump organ from the 1800s."

"I wish I could remember the brand - but I don’t," says Morby of the single. "This was my favorite part of recording this album, playing this thing and pumping air into it with the foot pedals, it had such a presence from the moment I entered the studio. For the first few days I think I thought it was just there for looks, that there was no way it still worked, but sure enough it did. Above it hung a framed photo of the original owner of the studios property who died sometime ago. Apparently his ghost still occupies the premises."

Last year Morby wrote in depth for us about his relationship with music.
