John Vanderslice 'The Cedars'

John Vanderslice will release his new full-length The Cedars, on April 5th. The album mixes synthesizers, drum machines. Ahead of the album’s release, Vanderslice has shared the second single off the LP, “Spectral Dawn.” Vanderslice describes the track as “a hymn to those who have disappeared into the ether: the lost loves, the obsessions, the dead. They’ve slipped through a trap door and are not accessible anymore. The remaining fragments of experience and memory are comforting and damaging at the same time.”

The Cedars will be available April 5th via Native Cat Recordings The album also features the previously released singles “I’ll Wait For You” and “Will Call.” Vanderslice will be touring in support of the album this spring with Pedro The Lion and Meernaa. All dates are below and on sale now.
