S.G. Goodman has teased a new album, “Planting by the Signs”, with the catchy, propulsive new song ‘Fire Sign’. “After touring relentlessly for 2 years, ‘living like the sun don’t shine / on the same dog’s ass everyday,’ as the song puts it, I came off the road questioning my purpose and choices,” Goodman explained. “People are quick to tell you that you are not working hard enough, but slow in telling you that you are working hard enough. That seems to be up to you, as well as your ‘why?’.
Despite this burnout and other personal setbacks, I found the fire to keep pushing and to make what I believe is my best record yet. ‘Who’ll put the fire out?’ The only person who can put my fire out is myself.”
Goodman recorded “Planting By The Signs” at the Nutt House in Sheffield, Alabama, alongside co-producer Drew Vandenberg (her co-producer on 2022’s Teeth Marks) and guitarist/songwriter Matt Rowan. Bonnie “Prince” Billy appears on a duet, “Nature’s Child”.
“Fire Sign” is taken from S.G. Goodman’s upcoming album ‘Planting by the Signs,’ out June 20th Slough Water Records / Thirty Tigers
