My New Moon is a

studio album by American musician Amos Lee, released via Dualtone Records on August 31, 2018. It received mixed reviews from critics but praise for the depth of Lee's emotional resonance. Many of the themes come from Lee's introspection as an artist and emotional struggles in the face of violence and his place in the world.[1]
