Jeff Tweedy announces his new album, the “beautifully honest ode to love and hope,” Love Is The King(dBpm Records), out digitally October 23rd (physical release date forthcoming). It’s the follow-up to 2018’s WARM and 2019’s WARMER and comes on the heels of Tweedy’s second book, How To Write One Song (Penguin Random House’s Dutton)) out October 13th. Today, Tweedy releases two singles from the album, “Guess Again,” and the title track, “Love Is The King.”
“At the beginning of the lockdown, I started writing country songs to console myself. Folk and country type forms being the shapes that come most easily to me in a comforting way. ‘Guess Again’ is a good example of the success I was having at pushing the world away, counting my blessings — taking stock in my good fortune to have love in my life,” comments Tweedy. “A few weeks later things began to sound like ‘Love Is The King’ — a little more frayed around the edges with a lot more fear creeping in. Still hopeful but definitely discovering the limits of my own ability to self soothe.”
