Sam Evian has announced a new album, Dive, and shared his first single, “Wild Days.” He has also announced some US tour dates. Dive is due out on March 22 via Evian's Flying Cloud Recordings imprint and Thirty Tigers. CJ Harvey directed the 'Wild Days' video. Check it out below, followed by the tracklist and album art, as well as tour dates.

Evian recorded the album at Flying Cloud Studios in the Catskills in Upstate New York with various friends and collaborators, including Liam Kazar, Sean Mullins, El Kempner of Palehound and Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief.

“Nobody knew the songs or what the plan was. We kept it casual and fun. That was the spirit of the sessions. No headphones, no playback, minimal captions or bleed. Fast and easy,” Evian says in a press release.

“I wrote the songs to play and sing on a guitar. I wanted them to be like really focused, classic songs,” he further explains.

“Wild Days” was written from the point of view of Evian's mother and the ensemble Dive sees Evian writing “from the eyes of his creative musician parents, tracing their complicated love story and adding his own thoughts throughout,” as the press release puts it.

Dive is the sequel to 2021 Time to meltwhich was released on Fat Possum.
