Kevin Morby pays tribute to the United States Postal Service on new song "US Mail"

27 October 2020, 15:54 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Kevin Morby has followed up his Sundowner album with standalone single "US Mail", which is an ode to the United States Postal Service.

"US Mail" arrives less than two weeks after his Sundowner album, and is dedicated to "mothers and their children - and all postal workers everywhere".

Morby expands, ""US Mail" is a song I wrote about a mother communicating with her daughter via the USPS from within an inpatient rehab facility. Restricted from any forms of electronic communication, the two must rely on postcards carried by the United States Postal Service to reach one another."

He continues, "My PO BOX is featured on the album artwork - please feel free to write me a letter and continue sending mail to your loved ones to support the USPS. It’s service has been integral to my career and I have been passionate about both sending and receiving physical mail since I was a child. It is simply one of my favorite things. I will do my best to write you back, but even if I don’t, please know that your letters mean the world to me and that I read and cherish them all."

Morby adds, "Though we had originally intended to record this song in studio while mixing Sundowner, when the lockdown went into effect and the session was cancelled we decided to do it remotely instead - with Brad recording the music and me recording the vocals from our respective homes. This release is dedicated to mothers and their children - and all postal workers everywhere."

Kevin Morby's "US Mail" track is out now.
