Singer-songwriter Jeremy Ivey will release his new album, Its Shape Will Reveal Itself, on Feb. 13 via Soggy Anvil Records.

Alongside the album announcement, Ivey has released the album’s first single, “Edge of Darkness,” a tune recorded live to one mic with wife Margo Price. The track premiered this week exclusively on Back In The Garage, an intimate music-session project founded by Soggy Anvil Label Head Luke Pelletier and his brother Tristan. Not originally intended for public consumption, the new album was recorded at Ivey’s home on a Tascam 388 reel-to-reel tape, lending it a warmth and lived-in feel.

“I have recently refurbished an old Tascam 388 reel-to-reel tape machine, so last summer and fall, I recorded some basic demos of new songs at my house. I played all the instruments except for the drums. My good buddy Dom Billett took care of that for me,” says Ivey. “At first, I had no plans or real interest in releasing any of this. But since it didn’t cost me much, I figured I had nothing to lose. The good folks at Soggy Anvil Records approached me about maybe putting it out, and in a dynamite burst of absolute elation, I said, ‘Fine.’

“There’s no big narrative or story arc, no shocking diss tracks, no hot-button political statements here,” he continues. “There’s no clickbait, tell-all gossip, no stories of guru producers meditating with monks in the Andes. It’s just a few home recordings with unsightly blemishes, slightly out of tune sleeplessness and warbling, hissing with sometimes clumsy execution. It’s called Its Shape Will Reveal Itself, and if anything, it’s honest and vulnerable.”
