The moment you’ve been waiting for is here – “Tomorrow’s Fire” is out now. The newest album from Squirrel Flower is an absolutely massive rock record that cements Ella Williams as one of indie rock’s finest songwriters.
One truth I can offer today is this: Squirrel Flower makes massive tunes. Between lead single “Full Time Job” and our song of the summer “Alley Light,” there’s no other way to describe Ella Williams’ artistry. Now, she’s given us access to “Intheskatepark,” a woozy, noisey heater that’ll burn through your bones. I can’t even begin to stress just how nuts the melody on this thing is, as Williams never overextends herself vocally. She arrives here with patient, angelic singing backed by thick, sludgy guitars. It’s not so much a grunge tune as it is soaring alt-rock glossed with candied delicacy. Can you believe this isn’t even the best song on Williams’ upcoming album “Tomorrow’s Fire?” It’s wild to see a masterpiece unfurl one chapter at a time.
Ella Williams’ slow burn indie folk project, Squirrel Flower is embarking on an epic new era with the announcement of “Tomorrow’s Fire” – out October 13th! With a renewed confidence as a producer,
Williams helmed “Tomorrow’s Fire” at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville alongside storied engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza, Snail Mail). Williams and Farrar tracked many of the instruments, building the songs together during the first week, and then assembled a studio band that included Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen band), MJ Lenderman, and Dave Hartley (The War on Drugs) lending their contributions. With two singles released so far – “Full Time Job”, “When a Plant Is Dying” – we are salivating to see what October holds. In the meantime, check out Squirrel Flower’s performance alongside her full band at Chicago’s Novelty Golf!
