Orville Peck Resists Rebab on Rowdy Single ‘Already Gone’

Orville Peck shared a new single, “Already Gone.” The song comes off his forthcoming album, Mule , out Sept. 18 via Warner Records.

“Already Gone” was produced by Jay Joyce and written by Peck with Jacob Portrait. It features Peck’s five-piece band playing alongside Molly Tuttle, Ketch Secor, and Ry Jennings. The song describes Peck’s journey through addiction and recovery, the centerpiece of the LP.

“‘Already Gone’ lands early in the album’s story, when I first entered the rehab facility,” Peck explained in a statement. “I accepted the decision to seek treatment but deep down I believed I didn’t have a problem. The video reflects my arrogant mindset as I picture the experience as a lighthearted musical, while in reality, I was in total crisis.”

A music video for the track, directed by Austin Peters, brings Peck into the rehab facility, showcasing group sessions, therapy, taking pills out of tiny paper cups, and a tearful exit. Noah Cyrus, Allison Russel, and Cathy Cooper make their third appearance in the clip in recurring roles as figments of Orville’s mind following the videos for “Prologue (Eulogy of a Man Turned Mule)” and “Too Little, Too Late.”
