Squirrel Flower has life after apocalypse in her personal pipeline, as her upcoming album Planet (i) is named after a fictional planet to which humanity will flock once we’ve sufficiently ruined Earth. Ahead of the album’s June release, Squirrel Flower has shared a vulnerable new song, “I’ll Go Running.”
She says of the song:
“‘I’ll Go Running’ is about the darker side of being an artist — the pressure to make things brand new, shocking, to give everything away and open yourself completely without always getting intentional listening and consumption in return. To be vulnerable to a knife. To be fresh, new, to give it all away. But it’s powerful to offer yourself and your art without fear, which is what I try to do with this album. That’s why this is the opening track.”
