John Moreland - LP5

LP5 is the fifth studio album by American roots singer-songwriter John Moreland, released in February 2020 via Old Omens and Thirty Tigers.

Critically acclaimed and revered songwriter John Moreland released his fifth solo album, LP5, on 7 February 2020 which was produced by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, The Breeders, Sarah Jaffe) at The Echo Lab.

LP5 marks the first time that Moreland has worked with an outside producer, having self-produced his prior material. The elevated and brilliant production on LP5, provides a stunning backdrop for Moreland’s masterful and poetic lyrics, creating his most powerful work to date.

Moreland has an incredible way of connecting with people through his lyrics and delivery, and LP5 reveals some of his most personal songs to date. “In Times Between” is a breathtaking tribute to songwriter Chris Porter, a friend of Moreland’s who was tragically killed in a van accident in 2016. “When My Fever Breaks” chronicles Moreland’s relationship with his wife, and was written over a three-year span, the first verse penned when they first started dating.

Throughout the new album runs an underlying theme of learning to love yourself, and finding peace in a tumultuous world.

Moreland’s previous albums have received high praise from a variety of outlets including NPR Music, Wall Street Journal, Pitchfork, Associated Press, GQ, The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly and The Fader. He received a nomination from the Americana Music Association for their Emerging Artist Of The Year, and has made television appearances on CBS This Morning and a late night booking on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

John Moreland’s music provides an honest voice in a world that can be hard to understand, and his newest work is something special.

This album is on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl with a digital download code, pressed in the US via Old Omens and Thirty Tigers.
