Kevin Morby - City Music

№54 - June 2017

On May 23, 2017

City Music is Kevin Morby's fourth LP as a solo performer, and it feels like it’s the one he’s been working towards this whole time; a breakthrough in form and quality 10 albums into his career as a sideman and solo performer, a feat that rarely happens in today’s go-go-go music economy. City Music has a black-and-white, well-worn feel and a sense that this artist has poured himself entirely into the project with all abandon, leading to an album that will stand sentry over the rest of his catalog. Picking City Music as Record of the Month – once we tucked ourselves comfortably into its environ – was an easy decision.


What’s included in this VMP Exclusive:

  • White/Orange Tie-Dye Vinyl
  • Exclusive 12-page Lyric Booklet
  • 12x12 Art Print by Robbie Simon


Learn more about "City Music"


City Music makes clear how much we need each other – and need to feel a connection with each other – from the guy barricading himself in his apartment, to the indie rocker feeling lonely writing an album by himself, to people walking the streets of Manhattan hoping to find someone they know.
