13th Floor New Song Of The Day – Kevin Morby – Campfire

0

Today’s brand new bit of music comes to us from Kevin Morby and its called Campfire.

Campfire is the first track to be released from Morby’s upcoming album, Sundowner, due out on October 16th.

That’s Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee, who appears in the video and adds her vocal to the mix. As it turns out, Kevin and Katie’s relationship forms the basis for the new album, recorded after Morby’s move from LA back to Kansas:

“During that summer my isolation was given a subtle lift when Katie Crutchfield, who I had toured with the year previous, began visiting,” he added. “A musician like me, she would stay weeks at a time, living quietly beside me — our love taking shape in a quiet refuge from our lives on the road. We shared many things, including a mutual melancholy that seemed to appear every night around sunset. We began to refer to ourselves as ‘sundowners.’ Sundowner is my attempt to put the Middle American twilight — its beauty profound, though not always immediate — into sound. 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.”
