The track is from his forthcoming self-titled album, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, to be released this fall, marking his debut on Vanguard Records. "Cecilia" is an ode to his new daughter, where McMahon declares, "for all the things my hands have held the best by far is you."
McMahon says of the new name, "I suppose my wilderness is mostly an abstract one. Since putting Jack's Mannequin behind me, I have forced myself into strange spaces seeking new stimulus. New lights on the path to the high of a finished song. I've met amazing people in the process; people who have propped this mission up, adding a palate of sound and perspective. This new name carries with it the spirit of that collaboration."
He describes the recording process as moving "from more than one Southern California garage, to a cabin set deep in Topanga Canyon, to a shoebox studio in the thick of the Hollywood tourist traps. The only constants have been my keyboard and a desire to make my best music."
Currently on tour opening dates for Matt Nathanson and Gavin Degraw across the US, the singer/pianist will also be headlining shows beginning Oct. 14. Tour dates are listed below with more to be announced at a later date. For updates and more information visit: andrewmcmahon.com
