Gia Ford unveils new song, "Shell"

"Shell" arrives as the fifth preview of the album, following previous singles "At Least for Now", "God", "I Guess My Time Has Come", and "How Do I Reply?".

Discussing the track, Ford explains: “‘Shell’ was the result of me moving out of my own way - the day we wrote it, I came in knowing I was going to accept whatever my hands told me to do and whatever my mind wanted to say. I was imagining Maria Wyeth from Joan Didion’s ‘Play It As It Lays’ for a visual counterpoint, but the first words had been my own winter melancholy reflections a few weeks before. It’s about that vacant sort of shadow that has followed me throughout my life and that’s why I suppose I gravitate towards those characters, even if we’re dissimilar in most other ways. The GoGo Penguin-esque drumming and the morbid low drones we took from later Scott Walker albums gives it that abnormality that defines it.”
