Cass McCombs’ New Album, Heartmind, Is Out Today via ANTI-
Today, Cass McCombs releases his tenth album, Heartmind, via ANTI-. In conjunction, he presents a new video for one of its songs, “New Earth.” Heartmind feels like a journey among assorted tuneful feelings, somehow shaped to meet whatever it is a particular listener needs. Where some may hear dark humor, others might hear relentless pain; where some may hear winning cynicism, others might hear harrowing nihilism.
Produced by frequent Frank Ocean collaborator, Buddy Ross, “New Earth” is a clever paean of post-humanity renewal: “Today is the day after the last day on Earth // It’s such a glad day! // After a very, very, very bad day // After today, who can say?” “‘New Earth’ I guess you could say is a lighthearted, bossa nova-ish song about welcoming in a new dawn where wildlife crushes technology,” says McCombs. “I owe a debt to the musicians, Joe Russo, Jon Shaw, Frank LoCrasto, The Chapin Sisters, and producer Buddy Ross for helping create this imaginary event/place/feeling.” The song’s accompanying video was animated by Daniel Bermudez.
Next month, Cass McCombs will embark on a North American tour in support of Heartmind.
