Critically acclaimed and much beloved folk duo The Milk Carton Kids<\/strong><\/a>\u2014Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan\u2014share their new song, \u201cBlue Water,\u201d today; Listen\/share HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think of \u2018Blue Water\u2019 as a song that pays attention to how the past drifts back in during the most ordinary moments. It\u2019s just this very small image that makes you realize the same thought can hold who you were and who you are all at once,\u201d shares Ryan.<\/p>\n Renowned for their songwriting, folk sensibilities and vocal harmonies, \u201cBlue Water\u201d is the latest unveiled from the duo\u2019s highly anticipated new album, Lost Cause Lover Fool<\/em>, out April 24 via Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers (pre-save\/pre-order HERE<\/a>).<\/p>\n Produced by Pattengale, Lost Cause Lover Fool<\/em> is the duo\u2019s seventh studio album, expanding on their signature minimalist sound while staying grounded in the intimate songwriting and understated arrangements that define their work. The new nine-song collection, including previously released track \u201cA Friend Like You,\u201d focuses on the small, quietly magnified moments that lie at the heart of the record.<\/p>\n \u201cThis album is, at its core, a collection of songs about transformation,\u201d Pattengale reflects, \u201cAbout the shifting terrain of consciousness and the stories we build to understand who we\u2019ve been, who we are, and who we\u2019re becoming. Each song takes a single moment, sometimes examined with microscopic closeness and sometimes viewed from a great distance, and lets it expand until it becomes an entire world. By enlarging small feelings until they\u2019re inhabitable, the record looks for eternity not in the sweeping or monumental, but in the intimate specifics that usually pass too quickly to notice.\u201d<\/p>\n The Milk Carton Kids are currently wrapping their extensive co-headlining tour with Sierra Hull; upcoming stops include Pontiac, MI\u2019s Flagstar Strand Theatre, Shipshewana, IN\u2019s Blue Gate Performing Arts Center and Marietta, OH\u2019s Peoples Bank Theatre, among others.
