S. Carey announces new album with title-track "Break Me Open"
Bon Iver drummer S. Carey has shared news of his upcoming solo album Break Me Open, and has unveiled the title-track as the lead outing from the record.
"Break Me Open" is S. Carey's first release since last year's Hailaker collaboration "Wavepool", and is accompanied by a Rudy Rubio-directed video.
The new single is also the title-track of S. Carey's new solo album, which will follow 2018's Hundred Acres.
S. Carey says, "Change is good. Fucking hard, but good. For many, to say the last two years have been difficult would be an understatement. Stress and uncertainty about life in general, family, friends, kids, even Mother Earth has grown exponentially. There is a heaviness to human consciousness right now, a darkness at the surface."
"Break Me Open is about love - past, present, and future," S. Carey continues. "It’s about fatherhood - the overwhelming feeling of deep love for my kids and the melancholy of watching them grow up right before my eyes. It’s about accepting my faults and wrongdoings, exposing myself, and trying to know myself better than I did the day before. But above the darkness, it’s a message of hope, honesty, and growth. It’s a call to be vulnerable: Break Me Open."
