Noah Gundersen announces new album, Lover, shares “Robin Williams”: Stream

Noah Gundersen has announced his new album, Lover. Due out August 23rd on Cooking Vinyl, the record is his fourth solo full-length record and follows 2017’s White Noise. As a first listen, the folk singer-songwriter has shared the emotional lead track “Robin Williams”.

Lover was recorded alongside Gundersen’s longtime producer/engineer collaborator Andy D. Park in Seattle. Over two years of sessions at The Crumb studio, Gundersen took a very patience approach to creating the effort’s 13 tracks, filing them with rich intimacy.

“This record is deeply personal,” Gundersen said in a press release. “It’s about love, it’s about failure, it’s about drugs, it’s about sex, it’s about age, it’s about regret, it’s about itself (very meta, I know) and it’s about finding peace. I think it’s the most I’ve ever put of myself into something. It’s been cathartic. I’ve cried a lot.”

The lead single, “Robin Williams”, might make you cry, too. Evoking the memory of the believed comedian, Gundersen wrestles with the finality of life and struggles with ideas like “nothing lasts forever/ And every other trope.” Take a listen via its accompanying music video below.
