Open Mike Eagle has announced a new album, What Happens When I Try to Relax, to be released soon. He has also shared the first song, “Relatable (peak OME).” Listen to it below. “It’s too complicated for a quick explanation. It's about a lot of things. It’s about expectations of form, anxiety, middle age and middle class. And that’s just the parts I know how to put into words a couple months after writing it,” Mike said about the song in a statement.

Open Mike Eagle has also announced upcoming tour dates. Find them below.

What Happens When I Try to Relax comes a year after his last studio album, Brick Body Kids Still Daydream. Earlier this year, his debut album, Unapologetic Art Rap was released on vinyl. His new show, “The New Negroes,” with Baron Vaughn, will air on Comedy Central in 2019.
