Kevin Morby announces new album ‘Oh My God’ with ‘No Halo’ video

Kevin Morby has announced details of a new album.

‘Oh My God’ will come out via Dead Oceans on 26th April, and is being previewed by a video for first song ‘No Halo’.

As the singer explains, the album ruminates largely on themes of religion. “Religion is around all of us,” he says. “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.”

‘Oh My God’ is set to be taken on a UK and European tour this summer, featuring both solo and full band shows, including a big ol’ London show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
