Pitchfork premiere! 
Carl Broemel (pronounced BRAY-mel) is a member of indie rock stalwarts My Morning Jacket and an accomplished musician in his own right. His new solo album 4th of July is slated for release on August 19 via Broemel's newly formed label Stocks in Asia alongside Thirty Tigers. Co-produced by Teddy Morgan, Bo Koster and Tom Blankenship of My Morning Jacket both appear on the record, with Koster co-writing a few tracks. Guest appearances also include Neko Case, Laura Veirs, Russ Pollard, Shelly Colvin, Richard Medek and Jordan Caress.
Broemel worked on the record between album and tour cycles in Nashville. Without an imposed deadline, he was able to engage his creative impulses within a space absent of all expectation. Lyrically, the album serves as a kind of journal noting thoughts that had been going on in Broemel’s mind while out on tour, but not on stage. The result is an album that examines the passage of time marveling at how different our lives look now from the engrained images of ourselves that we’ve held onto from the past. Lead single "Sleepy Lagoon" was originally conceived while Carl sought sleep on a Transatlantic flight, but floated in a half-sleep dreamlike state, and the outcome is a track that Consequence of Sounds calls “a slow rolling psychedelic number, rocking like a swaying porch swing”. 
In addition to 4th of July and My Morning Jacket, Broemel is currently on tour as a member of Ray LaMontagne's band with a full solo tour coming soon.
