User Album Review
Kevin Morby’s captivating fourth album feels spacious and intimate at once. It possesses an elegant, dusky atmosphere and Morby’s hopelessly optimistic songwriting is the best it has ever been.
Contrary to City Music’s theme, Morby’s fourth album was made on the beach in California, in a studio with an ocean view. Its spacious sound is out of sync with his bustling setting, but it draws you into his warm, eye-level focus. Joining him are guitarist Meg Duffy and drummer Justin Sullivan (his former bandmate in the Babies), and Richard Swift on production. Together they create a dusky atmosphere, an unshowy product of the band’s intuition. The playing is cottony and spare yet full of winning melodies and its sound is consistent enough that when they break from a dreamy lull, it becomes all the more captivating. It’s hopelessly naïve and optimistic, which is what makes it so beautiful, particularly now. It’s not hard to hear City Music as a lament for lost innocence, a pledge to maintain optimism and humanity at a time when those qualities don’t just feel like vestiges of youth, but of some better civilization that’s rapidly disappearing. In his best album yet, Morby makes a prayer out of the squall.
