As announced last month, Cass McCombs’ eighth studio album Mangy Love is due August 26. Now, McCombs has shared a brand new tune from the album, “Run Sister Run.” The single is inspired by Occupy Wall Street protester Cecily McMillan, and seeks to bring attention to gender-discrimination in the judiciary system.
Mangy Love follows McCombs’ 2015 release, A Folk Set Apart, and is his debut for ANTI- Records. The 39-year-old California native uses Mangy Love to take on political issues and explore genre influences that range from soul to psychedelia.
With groove-saturated melodies, McCombs is known for his low-key indie rock, and has toured with artists that include Cat Power, Andrew Bird, Iron and Wine, and Jana Hunter. He tours the US this fall with a full band.
