A Conversation With Kevin Morby

Jacob Paul Nielsen, Magnet, 16 May 2022

KEVIN MORBY'S seventh LP, This Is A Photograph (Dead Oceans), tells a story about the often-tragic side of the American Dream. It's an album of nuance, bookended by field recordings he did in Memphis. MAGNET spoke with Morby about the time he spent "living" inside his new record, as well as the themes of This Is A Photograph, the influence of the late Jeff Buckley and recording in upstate New York with his pal Sam Cohen.
