Following the announcement of a North American tour for his new record, American singer-songwriter Ruston Kelly has shared the second instalment of his greatly anticipated record, The Weakness. Although written during a solo trip to Joshua Tree, California, where Kelly admits, “I rented this little cabin out on 22 acres, just me and the coyotes, and ended up checking out a shop nearby and buying a baritone ukulele. I remember thinking, ‘This is so stupid — I’m trying to be that guy, going out to some cabin and writing my opus. Why don’t I just have some fun?’”
So, with the new single, Mending Song Kelly does just that.
Originating from a voice-note, “you can hear the dryer running in the background, but there’s something really special about the feel of that recording,” says Kelly.
