William Tyler has swiftly follows up his new album announcement with "Gone Clear", its superb lead single.
Tyler detailed Modern Country last week, but only provided a brief teaser trailer. Now we've got the first full track - a mystical, somewhat sinister slab of post-Americana endlessness which Tyler says is about "small towns, bleak countryside, old motels, and abandoned diners."
Modern Country is released via CD, LP, and digital download on 10 June by Merge. It follows 2013's Impossible Truth.
Watch Tyler perform a track from that LP, "Cadillac Desert", in session for us.
Check out "Gone Clear" below.
