Singer-songwriter Bill Callahan is back with a brand new LP. My Days of 58 is out February 27 via Drag City, and follows 2022's YTI⅃AƎЯ and 2024's live album Resuscitate!

With the news comes first single "The Main I'm Supposed to Be", which you can listen to below:

The album features contributions from Callahan's longtime collaborators: guitarist Matt Kinsey, tenor saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, and drummer Jim White, who all also played on Resuscitate! Callahan felt confident in their abilities to work on this record after playing those shows together.

The former Smog man elaborates:

"Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It’s all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes—making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.

I usually just sing a melody to a horn player or let them try a few takes and go from there. This time I thought, why not get some of the record charted out. There’s always room for spontaneity on top of that. And we did indeed throw some off the cuff stuff on top of the charted horns in a couple cases where they weren’t fully doing what I wanted. With this record I kept thinking of it as a ‘living room record.’ I’m not talking about fidelity at all here. Living room attitude. Living room vibe. Not too loud, not otherworldly. I asked for the horns to be relaxed like someone on the couch playing, not a blast from heaven or hell."
