Bowerbirds—previously a folk trio, now the recording project of North Carolina singer-songwriter Phil Moore—has announced its first new album since 2012. It’s titled becalmyounglovers, and it arrives April 30 via Psychic Hotline. The new full-length follows a pair of EPs that were released last year, 2020 Singles and Azaleas. Below, check out the music video for new song “Moon Phase,” directed by Moore.
Bowerbirds’ last album The Clearing marked the band’s final recording with Beth Tacular, Moore’s ex-romantic and artistic partner. The two had a child together prior to the band’s split, as Moore explained in a statement last year. The new album is about his processing of the end of that long-term relationship.
