To the Sea is the upcoming fifth studio album by singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, released on May 26, 2010 in Japan[1], set for release on May 31, 2010 in the UK and June 1, 2010 in the United States.[2][3]

Background and recording

On January 19, 2010, Johnson and his band reported that they had entered the studio to begin work on a new album, and on February 1st the band announced that their currently untitled fifth studio album was slated for a June 1st release, to be followed by a world tour.[4][5] The album was recorded over three weeks in Johnson's two solar-powered studios, The Mango Tree in Hawaii and the Solar Powered Plastic Plant in Los Angeles.[6][7] It will be released on Johnson’s own label, Brushfire Records, with the first single "You and Your Heart" already released on radio and iTunes.[8][3][7]

Johnson said of the album's title "I guess it's a reference to a father leading his son to the sea, with the water representing the subconscious. So it's about trying to go beneath the surface and understand yourself".[7]

Tour
