Moses Sumney’s new single “Cut Me” is probably the most beautiful way anybody has ever invoked the old adage “no pain, no gain.”

The airy, amorphous track is the latest from Sumney’s forthcoming double-album “Græ,” which will be released in two parts via Jagjaguwar. Today, Sumney announced that the first installment of the album (which includes “Virile,” “Polly” and “Conveyor”) will arrive on Friday, Feb. 21.

Sumney also announced a residency and installation beginning next week at the Bootleg Theater — the venue where the artist first performed live in the summer of 2013. The residency, his announcement says, “will examine the concept of græ — the spectrum of greyness in regard to color, displacement, interstitial space and marginal identity.” The installation will be open between noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday from Feb. 13 to March 4. In the room, the album will be playing in immersive, 3D Audio via Amazon Music HD on an Echo Studio.

Plus, Sumney will be performing every Wednesday night from Feb. 12 to March 4.
