Morgan Garrett has shared a new single, “Honest Mistake,” via Julia’s War, his first new music since last year’s The Mirror and his first release for the label.

The track was produced by YHWH Nailgun guitarist Saguiv Rosenstock and features former Show Me the Body drummer Jackie McDermott, who also plays in Garrett’s live band, with mastering by frequent collaborator Alex Nagle.

The accompanying music video is directed by Elenor Petry, which you can watch below:

The song moves through heavily distorted guitar, ominous piano, and doomy bass tones before settling into a hushed, unsettling balladry. Garrett described the track as being built around uncertainty, saying, “The song is about uncertainty and the fear of looking back and reflecting.” He added that the song reflects a shift toward incorporating more of a live-band element into his recordings, following several years of extensive touring. 

Outside of music, Garrett works as a speech-language pathologist in a nursing home, an experience he’s said has informed the way he approaches his own voice. He'll be playing two shows this month with YHWH Nailgun. Find those dates below:

10/24 Philadelphia, PA @ Warehouse on Watts *
10/29 New York, NY @ Warsaw *
