American singer-songwriter Cass McCombs has returned to announce his tenth studio album Heartmind. Together with the album announcement, McCombs has additionally shared the primary single from the LP, the languid and slow-burning six-minute observe ‘Unproud Warrior’.
A hearty mixture of nation, jazz, and indie rock, ‘Unproud Warrior’ stretches out every guitar traces and vocal cue to its most size. This sort of unhurried casualness isn’t only a McCombs signature: it’s a serious a part of his attraction. Whether or not it’s zoned out stoner knowledge or a very touching second of readability, McCombs all the time toes the road between emotional readability and wry obliqueness.
The brand new observe options contributions from two distinctive musical figures: Charlie Burnham, the eclectic genre-bending violinist who supplies the stirring high-end string components, and Wynonna Judd, the nation crooner who harmonises with McCombs’ distinctive drawl.
‘Unproud Warrior’ might be excellent for true believers of McCombs’ music, however for the remainder of us, it would simply be a bit too shapeless to really hit with most affect. The perfect quote I’ve heard right now was that McCombs feels like Conor Oberst if he was doing an impression of a cowboy, which could simply be McCombs’ total persona distilled into one well-timed zinger.
Heartmind goes to be a neighborhood occasion, with McCombs opening his doorways to a complete host of collaborators.
