Joan Shelley has released her first new single in two years, "Coming Down For You".
"Coming Down For You" is Shelley's first single since her 2017 self-titled album produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy.
Speaking about the single, Shelley says, "[it] came to me while I was in motion and I couldn’t write it down. I was thinking of the rhythm of animals, of work, and of travel; the rhythm of someone riding into chaos to bring a loved one back out again."
The new offering was recorded at Reykjaviík's Greenhaus Studios with longtime collaborators Nathan Salsburg, James Elkington, and Bonnie “Prince” Billy.
Last year Shelley released a covers EP Rivers and Vessels.
"Coming Down For You" is out now. Joan Shelley plays a few shows in North America. Find out more.
