Carson McHone

Carson McHone’s third album, Pentimento, is a dense, multi-faceted tapestry, with fragments of poetry, spoken verse, field recordings, pastoral folk, guitar and chamber pop, amply demonstrating the benefits of a more collaborative approach on this audacious gem that also reveals a level of sophistication, demonstrating that there are no real limits to McHone’s ambition.

Carson McHone’s new single, “Idiom,” is a stunning preview of her forthcoming album, Pentimento. The accompanying video, filmed by Daniel Romano, showcases a powerful dance performance by Allie Blumas. The project, which premieres at the In the Soil Arts Festival, blends folk music with elements of chamber pop, creating a sweeping and intimate soundscape.

Carson McHone unveils “Downhill,” the latest single from her new album Pentimento, out September 12th on Merge Records. The propulsive track, which recalls early Velvet Underground, is accompanied by a self-directed video filmed in Barcelona. It offers a compelling preview of the new record’s themes of memory and lineage, arriving just as McHone kicks off her European tour with Daniel Romano’s Outfit.

Carson McHone announces her new album, ‘Pentimento’ on Merge Records, and shares her first album single ‘Winter Breaking’, the video for which features the art and work of ceramicist Alejandra Almuelle. She shared: “This project continues to be, really, a community effort. What began as a methodical structuring of personal artifacts kept speaking of collaboration, which allowed me to open up the process to others and bring it to life.”
