Phil Cook has announced he will release his sophomore solo album, People Are My Drug, on June 1 via Hotline/Thirty Tigers, marking the follow-up to his debut solo effort, 2015’s Southland Mission.

Cook, who has played with Hiss Golden Messenger, Megafaun and Justin Vernon’s early band DeYarmond Edison, has also shared the new record’s first single, “Steampowered Blues,” which he says is the first track he wrote for People Are My Drug.

“I’ve long been drawn to the swing and swagger of New Orleans’ step rhythms,” Cooks says, reflecting on the track. “The left-right bass lines get my feet stepping, whereas the drums channel my hip movements and the weightless carefree melodies often coax my arms from my sides toward the sky. Lyrically, it’s playful in a way that I can get behind. Tamisha Waden and Chastity Brown’s vocal expressions are stunning. The payoff when Mountain Man enters at the end of the double-time chant makes me cheer every time. Within my mortal body and experience, this music is my church.”

People Are My Drug was produced with Cook’s brother Brad and features The Guitarheels and some guest musicians, including the previously mentioned vocalists and the No BS! Brass Band.
