\"\"<\/a>City and Colour, acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Dallas Green, announces his 6th studio album A PILL FOR LONELINESS due out on October 4 on Green’s newly minted Still Records, an imprint of Dine Alone Records.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside previously released tracks,\u00a0“Astronaut<\/strong>“<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0“Strangers<\/strong>“<\/a>, Green debuts new song and album opener,\u00a0“Living In Lightning<\/strong>”\u00a0[LISTEN HERE]<\/a>\u00a0. The highly anticipated follow-up to City and Colour’s #1 selling album If I Should Go Before You (2015), A Pill for Loneliness is produced by three-time Grammy-winning Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Norah Jones) and mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay, Dolly Parton, The Chainsmokers), the first female mastering engineer to win a Grammy for best engineered album\u00a0(2019).<\/p>\n

Over the course of five studio albums, Green has compiled a canon ripe with songs amassing a legion of fans worldwide. With this 6th full-length album, Green siphons serenity from stress through a kaleidoscope of lush guitars, ethereal orchestration, and heavenly delivery over eleven tracks that illuminate an entrancing emotional expanse, balancing two extremes with eloquence and energy.<\/p>\n

“I wrote a lot of dark songs and wrapped them in the most beautiful sounds we could find,<\/em>” Green explains. “There are personal connotations, but they’re also relatable. I’m thankful for the opportunity to create.”<\/em><\/p>\n

From the slow burning build-up of opening track, “Living in Lightning”, which borrows its title from John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, to the gorgeous last gasp of the piano-driven album closer “Lay Me Down,” A Pill for Loneliness unlocks the catharsis hinted at by the title.<\/p>\n

On the previously released song, “Astronaut”, Green’s voice immediately captivates as he carries a divine and dynamic hook before an echoing solo.\u00a0“I always think of the relationships in my life that have been fractured because I ended up doing what I do for a living,”<\/em>\u00a0he admits.\u00a0“I’m always gone, wandering around and singing my song.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hit single “Strangers”\u00a0hinges on a buoyant riff and hummable groove. It charges towards a ghostly refrain awash in reverb as he pleads,\u00a0“Don’t wake me when this is over, just let me drift amidst my dreams.” \u00a0<\/em>Watch the official video below.<\/p>\n
