Orville Peck Announces Fourth Studio Album, 'Mule,' Drops Single 'Too Little, Too Late'

Orville Peck has announced his fourth studio album, 'Mule,' and released its lead single.

The album is described as a chronological timeline of a year that reshaped his life, tracing the collapse of addiction, the pursuit of sobriety, and the process of rebuilding. Peck previewed the LP with two singles: the meditative, 48-second a cappella hymn "Prologue (Eulogy of A Man Turned Mule)," featuring Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus, and Allison Russell, and the rollicking pop-country jam "Too Little, Too Late."

What is the new single about?

"Too Little, Too Late" is a co-write between Peck, Steve Rusch, and Semisonic's Dan Wilson. The track is described as a sweet and sassy kiss-off to a lover who tries to come back. Peck sings over hand-clap drums and a finger-snapping beat, with lyrics including, "You want me hangin' round but you hate when I complain / You're back again, you wanna go / You, love songs on your radio / Those records are all burned out anyway."

When is the tour and how do I get tickets?

The singer will donate $1 from every ticket sold to The Trevor Project to support its crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ young people. An artist presale is scheduled to begin on July 28 at 10 a.m. local time, with a public on-sale following on July 31.

What is the tracklist for 'Mule'?

The new album contains 13 songs. The full tracklist runs from "Prologue (Eulogy of a Man Turned Mule)" through to the closing title track, "Mule."
