“Late Great”, due out on June 27th via Really Records, the label of her old Bomb the Music Industry! bandmate and long time collaborator Jeff Rosenstock. It’s the follow-up to her self-titled album first since 2021 effort, and it was recorded and produced with John Agnello, and features contributions from Rosenstock, Sammi Niss, James Richardson, Shawn Alpay, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, Chris Farren, Kelly Pratt, and Mike Brenner.
Stevenson calls the album “a document of loss for sure,” adding, “but it also draws the map of this exciting precipice that I’m standing on. I am making my own life now. With the record, with everything, this is the first time I get to call all the shots.”
The lead single is the lush “Honey.” “I said in my mix notes (to Agnello) that I wanted it to sound like a thousand angels screaming and crying,” Stevenson says. “Honey” is as stunning as it is heartbreaking, as Stevenson, who went through a breakup shortly after becoming a mother, voices her invasive, self-deprecating thoughts as she contends with what went wrong in her relationship. “Tell your tale behind your beaded veil, I am escapable, I am unable not to fail / Fail anyone I ever met, I’m not еnough, I never am / An enеmy, a nobody, I’m not enough, I’ll never be it, honey,” Stevenson sings, with sweetened vocals against country-tinged instrumentals.
“Laura has always had this supernatural ability to write abstract lyrics that cut straight to your heart, but the feeling of perpetual heartbreak on this record is more pointed, universal and vulnerable than anything she’s ever done before and it hits so hard,” Rosenstock says.
