While his latest LP, Back and Fourth, is set to drop on June 23, Pete Yorn already has his sights set on another project: a Serge Gainsbourg/Brigitte Bardot-esque duets album with Scarlett Johansson. Due out on September 8 through Atco/Rhino, Break Up, features nine tracks—eight Yorn originals and a cover of Big Star's "I Am the Cosmos." The first single, "Relator," is now streaming on the album's official site here.

"I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream," Yorn said in a press release about the record. "I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed."

Break Up:
1. Relator
2. Wear and Tear
3. I Don't Know What To Do
4. Search Your Heart
5. Blackie's Dead
6. I Am The Cosmos
7. Shampoo
8. Clean
9. Someday
