Mo Kenney Announces 5th Studio Album, From Nowhere out Sep 6th
Mo Kenney has announced their fifth studio album, From Nowhere, and shares the first single, a farewell to romance- “Evening Dream”. To celebrate the release Kenney will be embarking on the From Nowhere Album Tour. Tickets are on sale now.
“Evening Dream” has all the hallmarks of a post-summer come-down as Kenney reminisces about the nebulous feelings of flings: “Bathing in the pale green light, no thought of what goes on outside,” they sing.
“No thought of what it all might mean, it doesn’t have to meet a thing”“This song is about a romance that just wasn’t meant to be. Reminiscing about it and wishing them well. Reflecting on things that have happened and processing it all. The bittersweet process of losing a love, but knowing and accepting that it is for the best,” explains Kenney.
“Evening Dream” and From Nowhere’s intimate subject matter is handled with deft hands by some of Kenney’s nearest and dearest collaborators—Joel Plaskett, Rose Cousins, Victoria Cameron, Siobhan Martin, and Jordan Murphy—and recorded, mixed, and engineered by Thomas Stajcer at Plaskett’s Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
From Nowhere sees Kenney embrace the textures of ambiguity and the rich blur of being, failing, and becoming. As they shift through lush arrangements that touch on dreamy folk, sparse alt-country, and warm, hazed-out lo-fi pop, everything is up for interpretation and nothing is fixed. In their lyrics, Kenney opts instead to defy definition, making room for non-linear and fragmentary sentiments that challenge their own feelings about personal growth, acknowledge the slippery and shadowy nature of memory, and build love songs that conjure the bonds of friendship just as much as they hint at romance.
