Minneapolis based singer\/songwriter Pat Keen<\/a> has announced a forthcoming album titled Cells Remain<\/em>, following 2017’s Albatross<\/em> and 2015’s Leaving<\/em>. He has also introduced the record by sharing ‘Cell Song’, the gentle and melodic opening track awash in a sea of serenity and light. Keen has shared a few words about it:<\/p>\n

\n

“I wrote Cell Song visiting my parents cabin\/now home in northern WI. I was sitting on the dock on a summer night, contemplating yet again what my relationship is with my family. That same place is where I\u2019ve written countless songs. I also recorded most of my previous record, Albatross, up there.<\/p>\n

The lyrics embody my normal \u201csubconscious sound-poetry turned into meaning later\u201d formula. That being said, they ended up being about digging deeper to find the good in people even if you can\u2019t always see it and not losing your own plot while doing so. Hence the \u201ccells remain\u201d part.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We’ll have to wait until August 7th for Cells Remain<\/em> to be out through\u00a0Birdwatcher Records<\/a>\u00a0and if it is as engaging and captivating as the first single, we can’t wait for it.\u00a0‘Cell Song’ comes paired with a video directed, shot, and edited by Dustin Houston. Here it is.<\/p>\n
