Absolute Zero (Bruce Hornsby album)

Absolute Zero is the 23rd album overall, and thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby. It was released on April 12, 2019, by Zappo Productions and Thirty Tigers.

The album features collaborations with Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Sean Carey (S. Carey), Blake Mills, Jack DeJohnette, and yMusic. Its title is taken from the Kurt Vonnegut novel of the same name, though Hornsby has stated the connection is more thematic than directly narrative.
