Oh My God (CD)
Kevin Morby
Amoeba Review
08/28/2020
Kevin Morby explores issues of doubt, redemption, and — you guessed it — faith on his fifth album, Oh My God. For this latest release, Morby has backburnered his backwoods guitar for a more sparse, haunting atmosphere, heralded from the get-go with those first delicate piano notes. It’s not an entirely somber affair, however. There are moments of introspection next to bursts of jubilance, and there’s even a song called “Piss River.” In short, it’s the perfect soul-searching soundtrack to our often-strange times.
