Today, singer-songwriter, musician, and producer Sera Cahoone is sharing the reflective and winsome “Not How I Hoped,” a new single from I’ve Missed You All These Years, her forthcoming new album, available worldwide on Friday, August 28th from Sub Pop. Sera also stars in its official video, which she co-directed with Adam Evarts using drone footage that captures the gorgeous landscapes of the Mt. Baker National Forest.
 
Sera says of the track, “This song flew out of my broken heart many moons ago. It was the first song I wrote for this record. It’s quite sad, but writing it really helped me work through those hard feelings.”
 
Sera is also sharing new tour dates for the month of September, which will include the East Coast and Midwest shows Wednesday, September 23rd through Wednesday, September 30th. Additional live dates announced soon. See below for a current list of shows.

 
Wed. Sep. 23 - Minneapolis, MN - Icehouse MPLS
Sat. Sep. 26 - Chicago, IL - The Hideout
Wed. Sep. 30 - Philadelphia, PA - Milkboy

 
On I’ve Missed You All These Years, her sixth record, Cahoone is in full command of her powers. In its ability to hold loss and connection in the same hand, the album is triumphant, a celebration of life rooted in the knowledge of its fleeting nature. The product of a lifetime spent performing and producing music, the album traverses blues, folk, pop, and country, evoking Loretta Lynn in one song and Lucinda Williams in the next. It’s a testament to the strength that creativity and community brings, a portrait of an artist who knows herself completely.
 
I’ve Missed You All These Years, which also includes the singles “Say Something” and “Pulling Up Roots,” was co-produced by Sera Cahoone and John Morgan Askew at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA, mixed by Askew at Scenic Burrows in Vancouver, WA, and mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering.
 
I’ve Missed You All These Years will be available on CD/LP/Digitally from Sub Pop. LP preorders from megamart.subpop.com in North America, Mega Mart Europe in the UK and EU, and your local record store will receive the limited Loser edition on Metallic Gold vinyl (while supplies last).

What People Are Saying About Sera Cahoone:
“Shaped by a gorgeous backing of guitar, piano, and Hammond organ, the rich-n-swaying ballad finds Cahoone singing with a well-worn smile flickering at the edges, a flash of light that balances the heavy-hearted nature of the lyrics. Framing a portrait of strained but wholly vital domesticity, Cahoone’s voice is full of tenderness, holding a sense of yearning that is palpable in the weight it carries.” (“Say Something”) Gold Flake Paint
 
“Her new album I’ve Missed You All These Years, out August 28, is so richly tuneful and full it sounds as if it could’ve come out at any time since about 1968. It’s previewed by Say Something, which is a little bit Emmylou Harris, a bit Loretta Lynn, even quite Joan Baez, a lot Weyes Blood – and wouldn’t you love to hear them together?” The New Cue
