S. Carey, has shared “Sunshower,” the final single off his forthcoming album Break Me Open, his first album in four years. In the video for brand new single the multi-artist, producer and longtime Bon Iver member takes viewers inside a serene studio outpost amidst the oceanside forest of Gualala, California, where he tracked most of the LP alongside Chris Messina, Zach Hanson and a cast of multifarious instrumentalists. As the visual combines images of wooded landscapes, scenic drives, open seas and snow-covered mountains with footage documenting recording sessions.

This spring and summer, in between dozens of amphitheater shows with Bon Iver, S. Carey will bring the music of Break Me Open to 20+ headlining tour dates across the US. Stops include Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, Brooklyn’s Public Records, DC’s Miracle Theatre, LA’s Zebulon and more that are listed below and on-sale now.

Out April 22nd on Jagjaguwar, Break Me Open sees S. Carey confront the most challenging and change-filled moments of his life. He processes the pain of his marriage falling apart, the passing of his father, the melancholic pride of his children growing up right before his eyes, while his songwriting remains informed by his music’s central themes of nature and sustainability. “Sunshower” blends his emotional and earthly sides in breathtaking harmony, reminiscing on beautiful scenes of a past love: “We swam like we never even knew what land was. Spent, tan, and the day became a colored canvas. Daily I still feel the silk sunshower, dripping salt your eyes, my soft sunflower.”

In addition to the Gualala house, S. Carey also recorded Break Me Open in his own home of Eau Claire, WI and a number of satellite locations in between, capturing string arrangements from Rob Moose (Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers), horns by CJ Camerieri (aka CARM), plus contributions from his live band and more.
