Do we know when is coming out? Also pre order links don’t work …yet 

So You Are Tired is very C&L omg

 

The ethereal backing vocals.  the last line about death?

AKR website says October too but no date yet. I hope we get the pre-order with the song on streaming services today.

In October 2023, Stevens tenth solo studio project, Javelin, will be released. Javelin pairs musical sweep with emotional breadth in a way only Stevens can, weaving an entire lifetime of feeling into 42-minutes.

Sh*t Talk

I’m claiming this 

So you are tired of me
So rest your head
Turning back all that we had in our life
While I return to death

Stevens recorded Javelin — his first proper solo LP since 2020’s The Ascension, and touted as his first record in “singer-songwriter mode” since 2015’s acclaimed Carrie & Lowell — at his home studio with a small circle of collaborators, include a quintet of background singers — adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen, Pauline Delassus, Megan Lui and Nedelle Torrisi — plus the National’s Bryce Dessner, who contributes guitar to “**** Talk.”

 

Stevens also penned nine of Javelin’s 10 tracks; the album’s closer is a cover of Neil Young’s Harvest classic “There’s a World.”
