The Sound of Yourself

The first album Mac McCaughan released under his own name, 2015's Non-Believers, made synthesizers a big part of the mix, giving his typically punchy songs a sparkling new wave sheen.

“Will you ever get used/To the sound of yourself,” Mac McCaughan asks on the title track of his latest record, only the second one released under his own name. The question doubles as the first lines sung on The Sound of Yourself, which follows the unexpected instrumental opener “Moss Light.”
