Kevin Morby used to be the bass player for Woods and the singer of the Babies (with Vivian Girls’ Cassie Ramone). After a move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the Kansas City native began releasing solo albums of his own. This year’s Singing Saw is his finest yet, evoking Nashville Skyline-era Bob Dylan and early Leonard Cohen, among others. As Pitchfork observed, “His music comes from another place, one where you try and piece together meaning by tapping into a kind of collective unconscious, using whatever tools you have at your disposal.”
