Today, Philadelphia-based indie rock quartet Mo Lowda & the Humble announce their spirited, sweeping fifth studio album Tailing The Ghost due out June 20 and available for pre-save now. Recorded entirely on the road across America's most scenic settings, the spellbinding LP promises to be the band's most commanding, cohesive body of work yet. The project's first taste arrives today with "Canary," out nowa melodic, atmospheric tune that sinks into the nerves of a promising new love alongside its matching vibrant animated music video.


Alongside the big news, the group announces a lengthy North American tour this summer and fall, with support from French Cassettes and Illiterate Light and a slew of festival appearances at Boston Calling, Green River and more. See a full list of dates below and find tickets this Friday, February 14 via molowda.com.


The highly anticipated forthcoming fifth studio album, Tailing The Ghost, was written fully on the road with four members setting up their instrument stations in a circle, facing each other and working through the arrangements in real time between home-cooked meals, poker games, and movie viewings. Breathtaking views in Joshua Tree, Lake Travis, TX, Colorado and Tennessee inspired its magnetic sound–the arrangements vary from sparse and spacious like the California desert, glistening like various lakes to lush and sweeping like the Rocky Mountains–taking on the energy of the environments in which they were created.


Jeff Lucci (bass, guitar, keyboard, vocals) explains, "More spontaneity, gut and sense of self assurance was embodied in my approach to writing and recording this record than any other." The album captures who they each were in the moment, fleeting and on the move, which pushed them to record tightly and quickly. Lucci adds, "It inspired confidence–the cocktail of quickly writing something and recording it rid the band of self-doubt." The warmth of their true camaraderie is heard in the gang vocals throughout, and each melody lingers long after each track ends.


Written on a fan-gifted Canary Yellow custom Fender Telecaster and recorded while looking out at the vast Joshua Tree desert, "Canary" delves into the uncertainty of a potential new relationship. Propelled by an irresistible guitar riff and repetitive groove, Jordan Caiola (lead vocals, guitar, bass) says, "It focuses on the struggle of allowing oneself to fully open up, let it naturally unfold & trust the trajectory–something the narrator has previously (unsuccessfully) grappled with." On its special instrumentation and sound, Lucci adds, "I used a baritone to play fingerstyle parts that cover the low end pretty nicely, and the bridge has a kind of electronic feel by using some guitar pedal trickery." The accompanying eye-catching animated music video by Taras Merenkov captures the hypnotic nature of both the track and blend of nervousness and excitement of something new.


Watch "Canary" (Official Music Video)


The highly energetic, unmatched live show will grace stages across the U.S. and Canada beginning with Boston Calling in May and will move through Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, Austin, Los Angeles, Nashville, and conclude in their home city of Philadelphia in November.


Born out of the house show scene in Philadelphia, Mo Lowda & the Humble shared their first album, Curse The Weather in 2013, and have been non-stop ever since–vigorously playing over 90 shows a year. Remaining fully independent, the group have garnered millions of streams across platforms and boasts over 350K listeners on Spotify alone. The quartet has captivated audiences nationally and internationally and have solidified veteran festival status regularly playing Firefly, Peach Fest, Mountain Jam and more. Now, the band is ready to ascend to the next level with an assertive album that showcases their singular chemistry, masterful instrumentation and unparalleled blend of precision and spontaneity.


Mo Lowda & the Humble's lush guitar-driven new single "Canary" is out now. Their sincere, robust fifth studio album Tailing The Ghost is due out June 20 and available for pre-save now. Don't miss the lively quartet live this summer and fall across North America with tickets on sale this Friday, February 14 via molowda.com.
