A.O. Gerber has released a fourth cut from her Meet Me At The Gloaming album titled "Only Mystery".

"Only Mystery" lands with a video made up of home clips edited by Alexa Nikol Curran, and will appear on Meet Me At The Gloaming with previous singles "For", "Hunger" and "Looking For The Right Things".

"I wrote this song about trying to get to know my father in the waning years of his life and grappling with how hard that is - the desire for closeness at odds with the reality of our history," A.O. Gerber says. "He’s an incredible saxophone player - I grew up eavesdropping on him playing in our living room. Even though we never really connected around music, I have to imagine that had a huge influence on my desire to be a musician. I knew I wanted to have saxophone on this song as a sort of homage to him. Sam Gendel’s eerie and subtly-omnipresent playing is one of my favourite parts of the track."

Meet Me At The Gloaming will follow her 2020 debut album Another Place To Need, and is co-produced by A.O. Gerber with Madeline Kenney.

"Only Mystery" is out now. A.O. Gerber's Meet Me At The Gloaming album will land via Hand In Hive and Father / Daughter Records on 14 October, and is available to pre-order now. She'll play London's Folklore on 16 November. Tickets are on sale now via aogerber.com.
