KEVIN MORBY SHARES NEW VIDEO/SINGLE, "DOROTHY," ANNOUNCES NEW DATES

SINGING SAW OUT 4/15 ON DEAD OCEANS

Today, Kevin Morby shares "Dorothy" the second single and video off his forthcoming album, Singing Saw (out 4/15 on Dead Oceans). The song, a self-reflection of Kevin's life as a musician on the road, is named after his guitar, which is in turn named after his grandmother. "Being a musician, when you find yourself at home and off of tour, all the people, places and things you encountered on tour seem like some wild dream," says Kevin. "Dorothy, my guitar, represents the people I've encountered and experiences I've had over the past 7 years of touring, because she has always been there with me." The video for "Dorothy" is a beautiful representation of this sentiment. It follows a very mobile Morby as he traverses and passes by seemingly surreal situations, the fever dream that is the road for him and so many other musicians like him.

Also, Kevin has added some new dates to his tour. He was one of the best artists at SXSW last week, according to many, including Entertainment Weekly, who said "In a blistering Wednesday evening set at Mohawk’s House of Vans event, the former member of psych-folk outfit Woods and his backing band jammed with melodic intensity — many of those tunes from Morby’s upcoming album Singing Saw that called to mind Desire-era ."

PRAISE FOR "I HAVE BEEN TO THE MOUNTAIN" & SINGING SAW

"Singing Saw is a breakthrough for just how fully formed it is, a beautifully structured and produced record that is nothing short of a triumph." - NPR Music, SONGS WE LOVE

"'I Have Been to the Mountain' is laced with melancholy, but after Morby sings about a crowd of people demanding answers over acoustic minor chords, the song temporarily brightens. He's joined by joyous sounds—a triumphant horn section and beatific harmonies from three backup singers. It's an impressive arsenal, and one that does an excellent job of rounding out Morby's lovely and softspoken voice." - Pitchfork, BEST NEW TRACK

"The solemn, acoustic guitar-based tune expresses Morby’s anger towards the thoughtless killings in our society that overwhelm our past and present." - Stereogum

"Kevin Morby’s superb third album is the sound of a man gently losing his mind to music and not caring all that much." - UNCUT, 9/10
