Dent May announces new album "The Big One" Listen to lead single now

The Big One brings together both the scrappy DIY ethos of Elephant 6 Collective and early The Magnetic Fields with Dent May’s lifelong affinity for the great ’70s singer-songwriters like Harry Nilsson and Ram-era Paul McCartney. The songs balance a clear-eyed view of the world with a cautious optimism, looking at the everyday experiences of disappointment and heartbreak with a sense of possibility for the good that may still come. Things might seem bleak, May tells us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be thankful for our brief time here on Planet Earth. It’s with this joyful melancholy May draws in the world. Everything might be ending, the planet could be careening off into chaos, but tonight there’s a party down the block and you’re invited. Be sure and bring your friends. The Big One is out August 14th.
