Kevin Robert Morby is an American musician, singer and songwriter. He began his career as the bass guitarist of the folk rock band Woods and later became the frontman of The Babies. In 2013, Morby embarked on a solo career and released his debut album, Harlem River.
Morby's musical journey started with his involvement in the renowned folk rock band Woods. As a member of this group, he showcased his skills as a talented bass guitarist. Later on, he took center stage as the lead vocalist for The Babies, further establishing himself as a versatile artist.
In 2013, Morby decided to pursue a solo path and released his first solo album titled Harlem River. This marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his musical career where he could fully express his unique sound and songwriting abilities.

Oh My God is the fifth solo album by Kevin Morby. Available here on limited edition opaque sky blue vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and cassette tape.

Throughout his four solo albums and myriad records of various collaboration, Kevin Morby has recognized in his work the ubiquity of an apparent religious theme. Though not identifying as “religious” in the slightest, Morby—the globetrotting son of Kansas City who has made music while living on both coasts before recently returning to his Midwestern stomping grounds—recognizes in himself a somewhat spiritual being with a secular attitude towards the soulful. And so, in an effort to tackle that notion head-on and once-and-for-all, he sat down in his form of church—on planes and in beds—and wrote what would become his first true concept-album: the lavish, resplendent, career-best double LP Oh My God.

“This one feels full circle, my most realized record yet,” he says. “It’s a cohesive piece; all the songs fit under the umbrella of this weird religious theme. I was able to write and record the album I wanted to make. It’s one of those marks of a life: this is why I slept on floors for seven years. I’ve now gotten the keys to my own little kingdom, and I’m devoting so much of my life to music that I just want to keep it interesting. At the end of the day, the only thing I don’t want is to be bored. If someone wants to get in my face about writing a non-religious religious record? Thank god. That’s all I gotta say.”
