Squirrel Flower – the Chicago-based project of Ella Williams – announces her new album, Tomorrow’s Fire, and presents its two lead singles, "Full Time Job" and "When A Plant Is Dying".

Lead singles "Full Time Job" and "When a Plant is Dying" narrate the universal desperation that comes with living as an artist. The tracks are accompanied by videos directed by Lua Borges. The new releases follow 2022's Planet EP, and the 2021 album, Planet (I).

Squirrel Flower has also announced a string of UK tour dates across Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, Brighton an Edinburgh, including a show in London for Pitchfork Music Festival.

With a renewed confidence as a producer, she helmed Tomorrow’s Fire at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville alongside storied engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza, Snail Mail). Williams and Farrar tracked many of the instruments, building the songs together during the first week, and then assembled a studio band that included Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen band), Jake Lenderman (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday), and Dave Hartley (The War on Drugs) lending their contributions.

"Full Time Job" and "When A Plant Is Dying" are out now. Tomorrow's Fire is set for release on 13 October via Full Time Hobby and is available to pre-order.
