Cass McCombs has announced his tenth studio album, Heartmind, out digitally August 19th on ANTI- (vinyl available in September), a North American tour (dates below), and presents the aching and epic country number, “Unproud Warrior” featuring Wynonna Judd and Charlie Burnham. Heartmind is an eight-song album that feels like a journey among assorted tuneful feelings, somehow shaped to meet whatever it is a particular listener needs, to mirror whatever they bring to these uniformly incandescent and tragicomic tracks. Cass has set the stage, and allows the listener to pick the heroes and villains, the winners and losers, the jokes and the drags. He doesn’t want to present all the questions, let alone the answers.
Lead single “Unproud Warrior” is a necessary anthem for these times, where we all seem to have opinions about the critical news of the day without ever quite knowing what to do about it. Invoking Stephen Crane, S.E. Hinton, and fast-food restaurants, it is an allegory about our perception and ownership of responsibility, set to an elegant country & western ache.
