After teasing a new record on the Grateful Dead’s ‘Shakedown Stream’ pre-show, Bruce Hornsby has announced his new album, "Non Secure Connection". It is due to be released August 14th, 2020. In addition to the album announcement, Hornsby also shared the 1st single from the record, titled “My Resolve”. The song features James Mercer (The Shins, Broken Bells). Hornsby describes “My Resolve” as “a Sisyphean tale of the creative life, sung with a fellow climber”.
“The new album’s chromaticism and dissonance quotient is exactly twice as high, 3 songs featuring that language compared to one and a half on the last record”, Hornsby says of "Non Secure Connection". “I feel like my music has never been a part of any trend that defined any era of music during my 34 years of doing this. I may be wrong, but that’s how it feels to me”.
While the album is mainly produced by Hornsby himself, it also features addition production by Justin Vernon, Brad Cook, Wayne Pooley and Tony Berg.
