“Few singer-songwriters make struggle and anguish sound better than John Moreland.”
– New York Magazine
Produced by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, The Breeders, Sarah Jaffe) and recorded at The Echo Lab, LP5 marks the first time that Moreland has worked with an outside producer. Though Moreland has long possessed the ability to quiet a noisy room with nothing but his voice, songs, and a guitar, the elevated production of the new album takes Moreland’s lyrical mastery to a stunning new level. Special guests on the album include Pence on drums, Bonnie Whitmore on bass/vocals and Moreland’s talented band-mate John Calvin Abney on a variety of instruments. Click HERE to listen to the album’s poignant first single “East October”.
Moreland’s previous release Big Bad Luv (2017) received praise from a range of outlets including NPR Music, New York Magazine, GQ, Garden & Gun, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone Country, Associated Press and American Songwriter. Moreland has previously received a nomination from the Americana Music Association for their Emerging Artist Of the Year and made his late night television debut with The Late Late Show with Stephen Colbert, click HERE to watch.
Hearing John Moreland live is a powerful and cathartic experience that has touched and connected deeply with listeners. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch him on tour.
