Absolute Zero (Bruce Hornsby album)

Absolute Zero is an album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby, released on April 12, 2019 by Zappo Productions.

It features a wide array of guest musicians, including Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette, and the ensemble yMusic.

When discussing the album in an interview with the Guardian, he said, "There are some minimalist composers that influenced me on this record – Steve Reich, Philip Glass, John Adams – and that tends to be a less chromatic, dissonant area of music."

He also cited passages written by authors Don DeLillo and David Foster Wallace as inspiration for the lyrics of the title track and "White Noise", respectively.
