Cass McCombs recently announced his ninth full-length album, Tip of the Sphere will be released 8 February 2019 on ANTI- Records. Along with the announcement he shared the album’s lead single, ‘Sleeping Volcanoes‘. Today he has followed up with the second single to be taken from the album ‘Estrella’ – the track presents a dreamy narrative, woven with McComb’s strength in storytelling and wonder of words, music, and dreams. He sings “I was roused and aroused // only you can rouse me in that way // like music, language was blown out // like pulling down the sea // like plunging into the stars // Estrella.”

Last month, while in Utrecht playing the Le Guess Who? Festival, McCombs filmed performances of both ‘Estrella’ and ‘Sleeping Volcanoes’ with La Blogothèque at the Dutch National Railway Museum. Filmed in different rooms with alternate setups, the recordings feature McCombs on electric guitar backed by a simple but striking piano and upright bass accompaniment.

Tip of the Sphere follows 2016’s Mangy Love. For that record, McCombs made his television debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and received his most critical acclaim yet. It was included highly in ‘Album of the Year’ lists from the likes of Uncut, Mojo, Pitchfork and at #7 in Q.

McCombs took a different approach for recording Tip of the Sphere than previous endeavours, instead recording swiftly and with a sense of purpose at Shahzad Ismaily’s Figure 8 studios in Brooklyn. As a result, a confidence emerged that heightens McComb’s sound – the rock songs have more fervour and the ballads are more beautiful; the sounds of jazz and Latin music creep in through the back window. Engineered by Sam Owens (aka Sam Evian), Tip of the Sphere features the core band of McCombs (guitar, vocals), Dan Horne(co-producer, bass), Otto Hauser (drums) and Frank LoCrasto (piano, organ, and more), plus a range of guests.
