Today's Morning Edition music is from "Am I Breaking Down" from a new album called "Furnace."

It's by Dead Man Winter, which is a side project led by Dave Simonett of Trampled By Turtles.

They'll be performing Saturday night at Pizza Luce in Duluth.

Simonett recently discussed the album with MPR's Tom Weber. He says it expresses what he was feeling while going through a divorce.
