Earlier this summer, Dartmouth artist and long-time Joel Plaskett collaborator, Mo Kenney, shared the first single—"Evening Dream"—from their forthcoming fifth studio album titled From Nowwhere. The album's release on September 9 comes amidst a cross-Canada tour, the last stop of which is in Kingston for a KPP Concerts performance at The Broom Factory on September 21 with support from Piner and Marlo Green.

"Evening Dream" has all the hallmarks of a post-summer come-down as Kenney reminisces about the nebulous feelings of flings. “This song is about a romance that just wasn’t meant to be. Reminiscing about it and wishing them well. Reflecting on things that have happened and processing it all. The bittersweet process of losing a love, but knowing and accepting that it is for the best,” explains Kenney.

The new album itself, From Nowhere, sees Kenney embrace the textures of ambiguity and the rich blur of being, failing, and becoming. As they shift through lush arrangements that touch on dreamy folk, sparse alt-country, and warm, hazed-out lo-fi pop, everything is up for interpretation and nothing is fixed.

From Nowhere’s intimate subject matter is handled with deft hands by some of Kenney's nearest and dearest collaborators—Joel Plaskett, Rose Cousins, Victoria Cameron, Siobhan Martin, and Jordan Murphy—and recorded, mixed, and engineered by Thomas Stajcer at Plaskett's Fang Studios in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
