Hrishikesh Hirway shares a new single, “Never Going Anywhere,” via Keeled Scales.
| Hirway has also confirmed a new set of US tour dates in December with S. Carey (of Bon Iver), including stops in New York, Pittsburgh, Portland, Maine and more; full routing can be found below, and tickets are available now here. He will also be performing in London at Rough Trade Records on Denmark Street on November 18, where he’ll also be in-conversation with moderator Mathew Boynton (Ghosts, Taskmaster). Just like his acclaimed LP, In The Last Hour of Light (The New York Times, NPR, Clash, Line of Best Fit) which landed in April of this year via label Keeled Scales, “Never Going Anywhere” was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Philip Weinrobe, who tracked a live band and Hirway’s vocals live at his studio Sugar Mountain without headphones or isolation. The track was co-written with Fenne Lily, and features a heavy hitting band of Lily, Maia Friedman (Dirty Projectors, Coco) Adam Brisbin (Buck Meek, Big Thief), Núria Graham (Billie Marten, Hannah Cohen), Dylan Nowik (Clairo) Uwade, Sean Mullins (Sam Evian, John Legend), and Cole Kamen-Green (Beyoncé, Taylor Swift). On the patient, moving track, Hirway shares, “Sometimes I feel like I’m living or dying on a minute-by-minute basis depending on what is or what isn’t happening with my career at that moment. For a long time, I’ve associated that with my worth as a person. But I’ve been with my wife for almost 20 years now, and it only recently dawned on me that my relationship with her is proof to the contrary. Shortly after that realization, in May 2026, I wrote this song with my friend Fenne Lily, then recorded it just a couple weeks later.” In addition to the newly announced tour, Hirway will be taping a live episode of the West Wing Weekly podcast, which he co-hosts, at London’s Union Chapel on November 14. |
