Annie Hart shares new single "Longing to Care Less"

"Longing to Care Less" arrives after previous singles "Don't Breathe For Me" and "Wilderness Hill".

Hart's new album A Softer Offering will be her first since 2017's debut solo LP Impossible Accomplice.

The former Au Revoir Simone member says of her new album, "I wanted to give listeners that chance to breathe, to relax. A soundtrack for painting or lying in the grass. I thought a lot about what music I play for myself when I want to make a moment feel complete. There’s just something different when you play soft music during these ordinary spaces in life, and I wanted to make a soundtrack for that. Sounds that undulate in minimal movement, that you can pay very close attention to, or leave space around if you need to have your own thoughts. I hope this record helps stretch those unfortunately rare times in our lives when we have moments to be peaceful."

The new album includes vocal contributions by Madeline Kenney. It was partly mixed by Jorge Elbrect (Sky Ferreira, Japanese Breakfast, Ariel Pink) and Justin Pizzoferrato (Sebadoh, Pixies, J Mascis), and mastered by April Golden (Sharon Jones, Antibalas).

Hart has also contributed new track "Phoenicia No Coffee" to the So Many Singing, Vol. 2 compilation, which supports immigrants rights by donating all proceeds to the International Refugee Assistance Project. The compilation also features new tracks and demos by Hovvdy, Johanna Samuels, Barrie, Mary Lattimore, and more.
