Scruffpuppie announces debut album letters to nobody, includes collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers

18 November 2021, 16:17 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Scruffpuppie, real name JJ Shurbet, has announced her debut album letters to nobody - which will feature an appearance from Saddest Factory label boss Phoebe Bridgers - and has shared a new single titled "wondering how".

"wondering how" will appear on their debut album alongside previous singles "assignment song" and "paint", and in Shurbet's own words, the song "talks a lot about the aftermath of my addiction, and the awe-like state that getting clean put me in."

She explains, ""wondering how" has a combination of both elements from all of the songs on this record, switching from being soft and pretty, like “paint”, and then going towards more of a rock ballad, like “assignment song". This song talks a lot about the aftermath of my addiction, and the awe-like state that getting clean put me in. How did I get this far? A year ago I was nodding off sitting at my guitar trying to tune it correctly, and now I'm in Los Angeles recording some of the most amazing art I've ever created. “wondering how” is a perfect example of the hope I have begun to incorporate in my writing."

letters to nobody is produced by produced by Phoebe Bridgers collaborator Marshall Vore, and will include an appearance from Bridgers herself on the closing track "sometimes".
