Cass McCombs‘ ninth full-length album, Tip of the Sphere was released this month to widespread praise including ‘Album of the Week’ from The Observer and ‘Album of the Month’ from Uncut as well as high scores from Q, The Line of Best Fit, DIY and more with features including Mojo, hailing his continued position as one of the finest songwriters we’ve got.
Following the recently released ‘Absentee‘ video, today McCombs returns to the album’s first single and the thematic centrepiece of the album, ‘Sleeping Volcanoes’, with a video where dancers destroy Tahiti Pehrson’s contemporary art piece, ‘The Rising Body.’. It was shot in San Francisco Financial and Tenderloins districts and in the forests of Marin County. As previously described by McCombs, ‘Sleeping Volcanoes’ is about “people passing each other on the sidewalk unaware of the emotional volatility they are brushing past, like a sleeping volcano that could erupt at any moment.” McCombs and band will embark on their international tour starting in the US on March 4th (all dates are below).
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.
