A single from it entitled ‘You’re What I Need’ has been released, with Jenny explaining that “it was inspired by wanting to show appreciation for everyone we’ve met on the road and for their continuous support. Touring life is addictive; every night, we meet new friends and reunite with familiar faces from previous shows. Coming from humble beginnings, we never imagined we’d have the chance to travel to most of the places we’ve been. That’s why we’re incredibly grateful for the people who show up and show interest, enabling us to pursue our passion. We take immense pride in never cancelling shows because the fans who come out to see us are worth every ounce of effort. We’ll go to great lengths to make it to a show – crossing scorching deserts, oceans, snowy mountains, and sweltering jungles (literally). We’re trekking around the world because you’re what we need!”

‘Fentanyl’ opens with the lyric “Two years of doing nothing makes everybody crazy,” and is a song about the kind of alienation that can render a person motionless and self-medicated, but it also has an infectious melody and catchy guitar licks. Written after a particularly frustrating bout of writer’s block, the song was recorded at Excello Studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with Hugh Pool. Emily laments the loss of who she was before the world shift of 2020 when it felt easier to connect with people.

‘Watchdog’ hurdles us into the snowy foothills of Vermont to witness the beautiful, fickle, and anxiety-producing beginnings of a new relationship. Painting a picture of woodsmoke lingering in crisp cabin air and the rosy alpenglow dancing off the Green Mountains, Laurence transports her listeners into a scene so picturesque it’s too good to be true. “I think I’d like to learn to trust you a little more,” she sings, “But my watchdog heart is sleeping by the backdoor / With one eye open, waiting for you to go with the next snow.”

On the song, Laurence shares: “I wrote ‘Watchdog’ while holed up in a snowy cabin in the Green Mountains mid-pandemic. I brought my dog Scout, and every day Scout would lie right in front of the door to the cabin so that she’d wake up if I had to leave for any reason. That image really stuck with me – this watchdog sleeping by the backdoor with one eye open waiting for any sign at all that I might leave her. ‘Watchdog’ is fundamentally a song about trust. It’s about that moment when you’re developing feelings for somebody, but simultaneously scanning the horizon for threats, looking for any reason that they might leave.”

Opening with steady-rolling acoustic guitar, the song expands into an alt-country banger with dreamy pedal steel, brushed drums rhythms, and timeless three-part harmonies, all grounded by the alt-country twang of Laurence’s smooth alto.

Lazowski explains the story behind the track: “I wrote this song at the beginning of the pandemic, reflecting on those in-person interactions that we encounter and sometimes take for granted. I was inspired by those moments that happen, those unspoken words between two people in a sometimes unfamiliar place. I was envisioning that scene and wondering if we will be in a place to be able to have moments like that again. At the time I was also experimenting with alternative tuning and the tune quickly started to evolve.”
