Former Smith Westerns frontman Cullen Omori has announced the details of his solo debut. New Misery is out March 18 via Sub Pop. Find the artwork, tracklist, and music video for album cut "Cinnamon" (directed by Abigail Briley Bean) below.

New Misery was recorded by Shane Stoneback (Sleigh Bells, Vampire Weekend, Fucked Up). Omori began writing these songs early last year, and in a statement, he said he wrote the music following long shifts listening to Top 40 radio at his medical supply company day job.

There is so much dirt in hospitals and fuzz and lint and dried blood on these [stretchers and wheelchairs]. We’d clean them down, which in a way is kind of therapeutic, and listen to the radio. Then we'd go back to [band member] Adam [Gil]'s house and record demos for what was to become the skeleton of New Misery. I can’t sit down and say I'm going to write a Sam Smith or an Adele song or whatever. The closest I can get to that is making like this weird hybrid of what I think is a pop song.

Omori and his band will tour this year, as well. Check out the dates below.
