Ahead of his sophomore full-length album, Orville Peck has shared another four new songs in the form of Bronco: Chapter 2 — an EP led by "The Curse of the Blackened Eye," for which there's also an Austin Peters-directed music video featuring a face you might find hauntingly familiar.

Alongside the sweeping "The Curse of the Blackened Eye," the new chapter includes the tracks "Kalahari Down," "Trample Out the Days" and "Hexie Mountains."

"The songs on Bronco's second chapter explore some of the most vulnerable places I've ever gone to with my music," the artist said in a statement. "I sing about home, escape, longing, resentment… this chapter, lyrically, has some of my favourite songs on the album. Plus I've always been a sucker for a ballad."

The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus stars in the new video as Peck's ex, comfortably falling into playing a zombie as he follows the masked singer around.

Watch the video for "The Curse of the Blackened Eye" below.

Bronco arrives in full on April 8 via Columbia.
