Kansas Anymore is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Role Model, released on July 19, 2024, by Interscope Records. Executive produced by Noah Conrad, ^[1] the album explores indie-folk and country influences, departing from the alt-pop style of 2022's Rx . The album features a guest appearance from Lizzy McAlpine on the track "So Far Gone".

Four singles, "Oh, Gemini", "Deeply Still in Love", "Look At That Woman" and "Scumbag", preceded the album's release. A deluxe edition, sub-titled The Longest Goodbye, was released on February 14, 2025. The reissue featured four new songs, including the single "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out", a country-inspired track that went viral on social media, and Role Model's first to reach the Billboard charts. ^[2] An acoustic version of "The Longest Goodbye" featuring Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey served as the 6th and final single, released on July 9, 2025.

To support the album, Role Model accompanied Gracie Abrams on the Secret of Us Tour (2024–2025) as an opener at select stops, before embarking on the No Place Like Tour in 2025. ^[3]

Pitchfork 's critic Brady Brickner-Wood labeled Kansas Anymore as a "step in the right direction" for Pillsbury with the album's personality and songcraft being more mature and palatable than any of his past work. He further stated that the album seems "less concerned with landing a hit than it does building a sturdy home to hang out in." ^[8] Kate Tocke of ACRN called the Kansas Anymore: The Longest Goodbye tracks a nearly-perfect add-on to an already great album that gives fans "more to wonder about and depth about his storytelling heartbreak." ^[9]
