Kevin Morby Announces New Double LP Oh My God, Shares Lead Single "No Halo"

Kevin Morby has announced his fifth solo studio album, a double LP titled Oh My God. Due for release on April 26 via Dead Oceans, the record takes on the concept of religion and its prevalence in the life and culture of all people, even non-believers. This is how he puts it:

“Religion is around all of us. It’s a universal language and there is profound beauty in it. I’ve found it a useful tool within songwriting, as it’s something everyone can relate to on some level. There are religious themes or imagery in a lot of what I’ve done, so I wanted to get all of that out and speak only that language for a whole record. It’s not a born-again thing; it’s more that ‘oh my god’ is such a profound statement we all use multiple times a day and means so many different things. It’s not about an actual god but a perceived one, and it’s an outsider’s view of the human experience in terms of religion.”

Morby’s shared the record’s lead single, “No Halo,” which is a bold rumination on lost youth innocence. The song comes with a surreal video by Chris Good that will be the first in a series of forthcoming videos playing on the same storyline.

Oh My God follows 2017’s City Music. Read the tracklist and watch the video for “No Halo” as well as Morby’s KEXP in-studio performance from 2016.
