New Vinyl Record - Morby, Kevin - Sundowner

To Whom It May Concern,

I am here to announce that my new album, Sundowner, will be out October 16th, 2020 via Dead Oceans. THE WRITING: (KANSAS CITY, KANSAS) In the winter of 2017 I moved back to my hometown of Kansas City from Los Angeles. The move was sudden and unforeseen, just as I was tying a bow on the writing process for what would become my 2019 album, Oh My God. I bought a Four Track Tascam model 424 off of an old friend to help me get to the finish line, but much to my surprise and excitement, this new piece of equipment in my all-but-bare home didn't help complete one album but rather inspire another: Sundowner. The new collection of songs came quickly and effortlessly as I did my best not to resist or refine the songs, but instead let them take shape all on their own. As the songs kept coming I cleared out the crowded shed that was sitting dormant in my backyard and built a makeshift studio before adding drums, lead guitar and piano to complete the demos. Each day I would teach myself basic recording techniques, watching the channels illuminate and pulse as if the machine were breathing, and then emerge in the evenings as the sun was getting low: - around 5:30 in the winter, when the Kansan sunsets look icy and distant, like a pink ember inside of a display case, and 9 o'clock in the summer, when the sunsets are warm and abstract. Landing back home felt jarring juxtaposed with a life full of chaos and adventure with my band on the road. But at the very least, I was happy to have - for the first time in my adulthood - a place to close the door, with no temptations other than to work on music and reflect on what I had built since I left. It was a new form of isolation, one I had never explored or expected to experience. Not ready to let go of the hand of the California desert, I spent the winter decorating the best I knew how; with mementos from my previous home, cactus and aloe vera and covering the walls in pinewood - immediately earning my house it's nickname, The Little Los Angeles. THE RECORDING: Sonic Ranch, Neve Room, Tornillo, Texas In January 2019 I contacted my friend and producer Brad Cook to help recreate what I had made in my shed. We chose to work in Texas; we wanted to make sure the record was done far away from any coastline, and in the heart of America. Brad played bass and some keys on the album, but beyond that he encouraged and inspired me to play almost everything else. All lead guitar, proper drums (save the drums on "A Night At The Little Los Angeles"), mellotron and what I believe to be the albums secret weapon - a WWII era collapsible and slightly out-of-tune pump organ - were performed by me. We did, however, bring in James Krivchenia towards the end of the session to fill out the percussion. It was an honor to work with him as he built maracas from pecans and played on the floor of the live room, adding flourish wherever he saw fit. On the last evening of the session, after everything had wrapped, we all climbed on top of an empty water tower on the property, giving us a view in all directions. To the North you could see an endless Texas, with long wisps of cirrus clouds above the desert floor, and to the South there was Mexico, the recent detention camps only a mile beyond, with large cumulus clouds hovering over, bringing us to an ominous pause. To the West, towards the setting sun, the two families of clouds merged, holding the last light of the day in purple and orange. Below, a freight train cut the landscape in half as it whistled in the distance. AFTER Almost as soon as the session wrapped, I was off and away on press trips and then proper tours for Oh My God, which came out in April that same year. Sundowner sat inside of a hard drive back at Sonic Ranch and did not see the light of day, until I found myself, as did the rest of the world, stuck inside their home and in quarantine in March 2020. My second year of touring for Oh My God was cancelled. Brad, Jerry and I worked from our respective homes, sending notes back and forth as we worked alone but together to mix the album, and suddenly, just like that, Sundowner was finished. Songs, like sunsets, are fleeting, and it's only due to a willingness and desire to catch them that you ever, if even only for a moment, grab a hold of one. When writing Sundowner, I was lucky to have had the Tascam 424 there to help capture both. Sundowner is my attempt to put the Middle American twilight - it's beauty profound, though not always immediate - into sound. It is a depiction of isolation. Of the past. Of an uncertain future. Of provisions. Of an omen. Of a dead deer. Of an icon. Of a Los Angeles themed hotel in rural Kansas. Of billowing campfires, a mermaid and a highway lined in rabbit fur. It is a depiction of the nervous feeling that comes with the sky's proud announcement that another day will be soon coming to a close as the pink light recedes and the street lamps and house lights suddenly click on. Kevin Morby, Kansas, 2020.

Totally worth the good price!
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
My little shi-tzu has a favorite toy. It’s a stuffed lamb that she has, over time, completely torn to shreds. I needed something cheap on another order to get same day shipping, and I’m now tickled to pieces that I thought to find her something new to play with! When the box arrived, I called my little Mocha and built-up the opening of the box letting her know she had something in there. We never really get to buy her anything, so this was just too much fun 😂 As soon as I picked it up, I planned to toss it for her cause she loves to fetch things. Yeah, didn’t happen. She was so excited, she had this bunny out of my hands before they made it out of the box! Love that it’s made for dogs, and comes without things you might need to worry about, like eye buttons popping off, etc. The little tail did come off pretty quickly and since it was small, I tossed it. The bunny itself is played with at least once or twice daily, and she hasn’t broken through to the stuffing yet. So, for a cheap dog toy, it’s holding up really well. Happy with this purchase and would order something from them again.

Adorable, but probably not for medium+ dogs
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
I got this for my 20 and 30 pound dogs to play with, and though I didn't really expect for it to be a durable or long-term toy for them, I think it felt like it was well-made and would probably suit dogs that are up to 15 pounds the best. It felt better than other dog toys in this price point but was filled with holes already after the first time my dog played with it on his own, which I think is probably more of a fabric issue than an actual quality issue, because it was more of a teeth puncture than seams ripping. I hope this helps! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a small breed dog who doesn't have the same bite strength .

My dog loves these
Size: 9 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Bone
My dog usually doesn’t play with toys but I decided to try this one. She loved it so much that I ordered 3 more to have on hand! Some of the stitching on the first one is coming apart but it’s actually quite durable given how tough she is on it.

Tail came off right away
Size: 6 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Rabbit
Our little dog kept stealing a stuffed animal off our granddaughter's bed, so I decided to get one that was better suited to him. I liked that there weren't any eyes to pull off, although it does look weird without eyes. He really likes it and carries it around. The bad part is the tail came off almost immediately. He isn't one to chew up toys, so I just don't think it was attached firmly. I haven't tried to put it back on. I may just leave it off. So far the rest of the bunny is holding up.

Comfy slippers!
Size: 7.5 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Slipper, Size: 7.5 inch (Pack of 1), Style: Slipper
My dog eats a lot of things she shouldn’t but she hasn’t eaten the slipper yet. She loves the slipper almost as much as she loves rocks. Rocks are forbidden so we’ve convinced her the slipper is just as forbidden so she holds the slipper in her mouth instead of rocks when we’re on our walks. It’s very soft and it makes for a great hat to cover her snoot indoors. We’ve replaced the first slipper because she likes destroying the squeakers. She hasn’t been able to rip it out the squeaker or tear the slipper, but she isn’t too big on ripping things open unless they’re loaded with fluff. I guess we have a pair of slippers now.
