Singer-songwriter Pete Yorn will release his fourth Columbia album, Back and Fourth, on June 23rd, Billboard.com reports. Producer Rick Rubin and Bright Eyes jack-of-all-trades Mike Mogus helped bring the 10 track album to fruition, Yorn’s first since 2006’s Night Crawler.

Yorn, who usually plays most of the instruments on his albums, farmed out much of the instrumentation this time around. He also plumbed the depths of his pysche for subject matter; the album’s therapy-induced first single, “Don’t Wanna Cry,” came from “the darkest depths of the dark nights of the soul” he experienced as a touring musician. “I’m not sure what all it was,” Yorn tells the Website. “I just think I had been living my teenage rocked-out fantasy for a long time and I had some growing up to do…which led up to the fertile ground for writing this type of music for me.”

Here’s the track list:

“Don’t Wanna Cry”
“Paradise Cove”
“Close”
“Social Development”
“Shotgun”
“Last Summer”
“Thinking of You”
“Country”
“Four Years”
“Long Time”
