Cass McCombs – whose work New York Magazine has praised as "smart, wise, playful, literary, and often funny" – has announced a new split 7" with Hand Habits, the project of Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Meg Duffy.

The release pairs two new tracks: McCombs' "Seeing The Elephant" and Hand Habits' "Good Person," and will be issued via Domino and Fat Possum.  McCombs' "Seeing The Elephant" arrives today alongside a video directed by Larry Unrein.

A limited-edition 7" vinyl pressing will be available exclusively on McCombs' Interior Live Oak Live North American tour.

"Seeing The Elephant" b/w "Good Person" marks the second and final tour-exclusive 7", following McCombs' collaborative split with Interior Live Oak co-producer Chris Cohen, "Steel Reserve" b/w "Ignis Fatuus, Hinkypunk, Sharkfins And Ambergris,"

The Interior Live Oak Live tour kicked off March 19 in New York City. At the opening show, comedian Adam Friedland introduced McCombs with a bold declaration: "In my opinion, Cass McCombs is the greatest singer-songwriter in the world." Stereogum was in attendance and later shared a live clip, writing: "The veteran musician made a compelling case for the superlative at LPR, delivering a revelatory two-hour set of psych-folk and indie rock to kick off the tour."

The 29-date run marks McCombs' first since the 2025 release of his critically acclaimed album Interior Live Oak, which Pitchfork named one of the year's best rock albums. Hand Habits will join as support on West Coast dates from April 4-11, performing solo in Seattle, Portland, Petaluma, and San Francisco before appearing with a full band in Los Angeles.

McCombs has also announced additional dates across New Zealand, Australia and Europe. Full routing is below, and tickets are on sale now at: cassmccombs.com.
