Folk-pop act Mutual Benefit (a.k.a. Jordan Lee) had a breakthrough moment with 2013's well-received Love's Crushing Diamond. Before the album's treated to a proper follow-up, however, Mutual Benefit will look back and reissue the 2011 EP Cowboy's Prayer.
The five-song release was previously only available on Bandcamp (and can still be streamed in full there). Now, however, Other Music intends to release it on various physical formats on September 2. The release has also been treated to some new artwork, available above.
In addition to the new album, Mutual Benefit will spend the next four months on the road. The run of dates includes three Canadian stops, with shows in Hamilton, Toronto and Vancouver. Check out the full, overwhelming itinerary below.
