"The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life. I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional."
"We don't linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next. I became so at ease with being in the 'middle of nowhere' in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined."
Kacey Musgraves announces Middle of Nowhere, her seventh studio album releasing May 1 via Lost Highway. The album leads with the single 'Dry Spell,' accompanied by a playful music video co-directed by Musgraves and Hannah Lux Davis depicting grocery store fantasies. Created during an extended period of singlehood, the record explores themes of solitude and transitional spaces as Musgraves processed creative time while living across Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico. The album features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Musgraves describes the project as embracing liminal spaces and finding comfort in undefined moments rather than rushing to define what comes next.
