Then, after wrapping up a difficult tour behind that record in November 2022, he stopped working entirely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe took an entire year off from playing shows and didn’t use a smartphone for 6 months. “At the end of that year, I was just like ‘Nobody call me’. I needed to not do anything for a while and just process,” Moreland says. After nearly a decade in the limelight, constantly jostled by the expectations of his audience, the music industry, and anonymous strangers online, he carved out some time to rest, heal, and reflect for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result of that unplugged year at home is 2024’s \u003ci\u003eVisitor\u003c\/i\u003e, a folk-rock record that is intimate, immediate, deeply thoughtful, and catchy as hell. Moreland recorded the album at his home in Bixby, Oklahoma, in only ten days, playing nearly every instrument himself (his wife Pearl Rachinsky sang on one song, and his longtime collaborator John Calvin Abney contributed a guitar solo), as well as engineering and mixing the album. “Simplicity and immediacy felt very important to the process,” he says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a return to the approach Moreland took on his breakthrough albums, 2013’s \u003ci\u003eIn The Throes\u003c\/i\u003e and 2015’s High On Tulsa Heat, both of which were largely self-recorded at home with a small cadre of additional musicians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thirty Tigers","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50421770322251,"sku":"2194780","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50421770748235,"sku":"2194781","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50421769797963,"sku":"2194779","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Visitor_d1e66a23_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726760364"},{"product_id":"birds-in-the-ceiling","title":"Birds In The Ceiling","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoreland with his new album \u003ci\u003eBirds in the Ceiling\u003c\/i\u003e, a nine-song collection that offers the most comprehensive insight into the thoughts and sounds swimming around in his head to date.

And yet, while the Tulsa-based Moreland is grateful for the respect and musical conversation he’s now having with people around the world, he is also more focused on the idea of just talking to one person––or even himself. “Through the years, I’ve felt like I’m increasingly talking to myself in my songs, more and more,” he says. “Maybe in the past, I wasn’t aware of it, but now, I am. I think doing that has helped me be less hard on myself, which makes you more generous and compassionate in general.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreland’s songs do feel intimate––like overheard conversations or solitary meditations. “I want to talk one-on-one to someone in a song,” he says. “I don’t want to address a group, really, because I think that’s when it’s easy to start pontificating––and it gets less honest.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Omens","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50454447423819,"sku":"1152874","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue | LP","offer_id":50454445359435,"sku":"1152875","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50454446440779,"sku":"1152873","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f0ff53cb-57d2-47bb-9a68-f4f49496d2a3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727183930"},{"product_id":"lp5-1","title":"LP5","description":"\u003cp\u003eCritically acclaimed and revered songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Moreland\u003c\/strong\u003e releases his fifth solo album, \u003cem\u003eLP5\u003c\/em\u003e, via Old Omens \/ Thirty Tigers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Matt Pence (Jason Isbell, The Breeders, Sarah Jaffe) at The Echo Lab, \u003cem\u003eLP5\u003c\/em\u003e marks the first time that Moreland has worked with an outside producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elevated and brilliant production on \u003cem\u003eLP5\u003c\/em\u003e provides a stunning backdrop for Moreland’s masterful and poetic lyrics, creating his most powerful work to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Omens","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50472910061899,"sku":"1085061","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50472911569227,"sku":"1085062","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/84a6d8e9-5c4a-47ea-957d-187074f10377_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727424799"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_9da8c4f0_thumbnail_4096_6fc06198-7cb8-4a67-8bee-2cba4e5f234d.jpg?v=1726471825","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/john-moreland.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
