Langhorne Slim and The Lost At Last Band

Singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim’s brassy, bittersweet Americana has aged well over the past two decades. Engine, his first EP, was released in 2006, funneling Slim into the folk-festival circuit and several albums. Now sober, his heartbreak punk has less of the whiskey-soaked lore of his past releases, but there’s the sense of someone newly grounded. This year’s single “Someone New,” a duo with folk singer Mara Connor, is a catchy, roving meditation on a broken relationship that’s tinged with sadness (“I like what you’ve done with your hair”) but doesn’t seem like it’s going to fall apart at the seams. Lyrics on 2017’s Lost at Last, Vol. 1 strike a similar chord: “What a gift it is just to be still,” he croons on “Bluebird,” and “Let’s fall in love with our telephones off” on “Never Break.” Raleigh’s Kate Rhudy opens.
