## Summary

Orville Peck has announced his fourth studio album, Mule, due for release on 18 September through Warner Records, alongside two preview tracks. The masked country singer describes the 13-track record as his most personal yet, charting addiction, sobriety and rebuilding while exploring love, loss and identity through country, bluegrass and Americana.

The previews are the 48-second a cappella “Prologue (Eulogy of a Man Turned Mule)”, featuring Emmylou Harris, Noah Cyrus and Allison Russell, and the pop-country break-up song “Too Little, Too Late”. Peck will begin his North American Man Turned Mule tour on 28 October, donate $1 from each ticket to LGBTQ+ charity The Trevor Project, and follow his 2025 Appaloosa EP and Broadway run in Cabaret.
