TYSON MOTSENBOCKER ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM MODERN WORRIES

ALBUM ARRIVES OCTOBER 24 VIA TOOTH & NAIL RECORDS

SHARES “FUTURE SEER” VISUALIZER — WATCH + LISTEN

Singer-songwriter TYSON MOTSENBOCKER has announced his fourth album Modern Worries, which arrives October 24 via Tooth & Nail Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, he shares the visualizer for “Future Seer.” Watch and listen here.

“Maybe if I can see the future, it won’t be so bad when it arrives,” Motsenbocker says about the newly-released song. ” If a friend wants to watch a horror movie, I’ll Google the plot, so I won’t be scared. It’s similar to the moment at the end of a relationship when you see what’s going to happen, but it still hurts.”

As for the album as a whole, he says, “The record comes at a vulnerable point in my life. I really love it, but it carries more weight. The act of looking back is painful; the act of looking forward can either be full of fear or hope. So, these songs ask, ‘What brings about fear and hope?’ By the end, you realize the answers to the big questions are often the simplest and most overlooked things.”

ABOUT TYSON MOTSENBOCKER:
Tyson Motsenbocker contemplates the big things, the little things, and everything in between through his music. The Washington-born and California-based singer and songwriter alchemizes everyday anxieties and big existential dilemmas into songs that resemble those thoughts we all have but rarely, if ever, say aloud. He’ll zoom way out and ponder the existence of aliens, or he’ll zoom back in as closely as possible just to enjoy the quickest glance of his wife’s smile through a wine glass. He’s done a lot of reflecting, but now he’s living in the moment and even looking ahead on his fourth full-length LP, Modern Worries [Tooth & Nail Records]. Over the years, his music has soundtracked this search for answers. Albums such as Letters to Lost Loves [2016], Someday I’ll Make It All Up To You [2020], and Milk Teeth [2022] struck a chord with audiences and tastemakers alike. Of the latter, Atwood Magazine raved, “An intimate inner reckoning that’s as tender as it is intense, Mostenbocker’s third LP aches with searing energy and stirring passion as the artist dives deep into himself, ultimately creating a record that captures childhood, adulthood, and the space between the two.” Simultaneously, he gathered millions of streams and opened up for David Bazan, Vance Joy, and James Bay, among others. Throughout 2024, the vision for Modern Worries crystalized. “The theme is waking up in the future and realizing none of the things you thought you were going to be worried about are what you’re actually worried about,” he elaborates. “I love the sixties era of sci-fi. Back then, the concern was about restrictions on everything. These days, it’s death by abundance. Even though I’m worried about the big pervasive problems like the government and money, I find solace in easy solutions like my marriage and home.”
