City and Colour announces details for new album ‘A Pill For Loneliness’ out October 4th 2019
Acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, AKA City and Colour announces his 6th studio album A PILL FOR LONELINESS to be releasedOctober 4th on Green’s newly minted Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records.
Alongside previously released tracks, ‘Astronaut’ and ‘Strangers’, Green debuts new song and album opener, ‘Living In Lightning’. The highly anticipated follow-up to City and Colour’s #1 selling album If I Should Go Before You (2015), A Pill for Loneliness is produced by three-time Grammy-winning Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Norah Jones) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay, Dolly Parton, The Chainsmokers), the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album (2019).

Along with pre-saving the digital release on DSPs, fans can pre-order a 2xLP vinyl copy of the album through the City and Colour webstore where a variety of album-branded merchandise will be available.
Over the course of five studio albums, Green has compiled a canon ripe with songs amassing a legion of fans worldwide. With this 6th full-length album, Green siphons serenity from stress through a kaleidoscope of lush guitars, ethereal orchestration, and heavenly delivery over eleven tracks that illuminate an entrancing emotional expanse, balancing two extremes with eloquence and energy.
“I wrote a lot of dark songs and wrapped them in the most beautiful sounds we could find,” Green explains. “There are personal connotations, but they’re also relatable. I’m thankful for the opportunity to create.”
From the slow burning build-up of opening track, “Living In Lightning”, which borrows its title from John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, to the gorgeous last gasp of the piano-driven album closer “Lay Me Down,” A Pill for Loneliness unlocks the catharsis hinted at by the title.
