Zombies on Broadway is the second studio album by released by American indie pop act Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, led by singer, songwriter, and pianist Andrew McMahon. The album was released on February 10, 2017, through Vanguard Records, led by the first single "Fire Escape", officially released September 9, 2016.
According to McMahon, he "expanded the palette" for Zombies on Broadway "in a big way." He "stayed true to many of the keyboard textures" as found on his debut album, and included "a lot more guitar work." The album's sound has been described as pop. The majority of the album had been written and recorded in New York in between tours.
While touring in support of his debut album, McMahon had a weekend free from touring in New York City. Here, McMahon encountered "the acrobat, the banker, the oxblood friend; these larger than life characters ... that lead me through the boroughs, bodegas, bars and subway stations," which would be referenced in "Fire Escape". "Walking in My Sleep" began as a group of vignettes. McMahon explained: "I am someone who craves constant motion, but once plane rides and hotel nights accumulate there is a sense that the world has shifted in some imperceivable way."
A lyric video was released for "Fire Escape" on September 8, and a day later, the song was released as a single. On November 10, Zombies on Broadway was announced for release, and the album's artwork was revealed. "Brooklyn, You're Killing Me" was released as a single on November 18. "Walking in My Sleep" was released as a single on December 16. "So Close" was released as a single on January 6, 2017. "Don't Speak for Me (True)" was released as a single on January 27.Zombies on Broadway was released on February 10 through Vanguard Records. Between mid-March and mid-May, McMahon went on the Zombies in America tour across the U.S. with Atlas Genius and Night Riots. In late May, McMahon will embark on a brief UK tour. McMahon will support Billy Joel for two shows, in June and July, respectively.
The album received favourable reviews from critics. The album charted at number 43 on the Billboard 200.
