Cory Hanson announces new album, tour dates

Following Wand’s excellent 2024 release, Vertigo, singer Cory Hanson has announced details of his fourth solo album.

Featuring the same line-up as Vertigo (Robbie Cody co-producing; Evan Backer – bass, string arrangements and horns; Evan Burrows – drums), I Love People is set for release on July 25 via Drag City, and follows Hanson’s 2023 release, Western Cum.

Earlier today, Hanson shared the video for I Love People’s lead single, Bird on a Swing, which you can watch / listen to above.

Bird on a Swing follows Hanson breezy aesthetics that made both Wand’s Vertigo and Western Cum such wonderful encounters. A song so effortlessness sounding as if it just dropped out of the speakers, lyrically Hanson is also on point with something that underlines these times (I’ve rode on the darkest range / I’ve worked a thousand graveyard hours / I have no blood left in my veins, I gave it all up to the empire.”).
