Squirrel Flower unveils the brand new single, "Alley Light"
Today, Squirrel Flower — the moniker of Chicago-based musician Ella Williams — presents her new single, "Alley Light" from her forthcoming album, Tomorrow’s Fire.
"This song is about the man in me, or a man who I love, or a man who is a stranger to me. The video references a neo-noir Chicago heist movie where they use this thermal metal contraption to cut into a safe. They run around the city making sparks fly and getting up to no good. I wanted to do all that," Williams says.
Despite its vintage sheen, "Alley Light" captures the very familiar feelings of loss that come with living in a 21st-century city, where you blink and the storefronts change. The accompanying video is helmed by Weird Life Productions and features the artwork and studio of Gwen Yen Chiu.
"Alley Light" follows the double lead singles, "Full Time Job" and "When a Plant is Dying", which were released last month.
Tomorrow’s Fire was produced by Williams herself at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville alongside storied engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza, Snail Mail), and a studio band composed of Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen band), Jake Lenderman (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday), and Dave Hartley (The War on Drugs).
"Alley Light" is out now. Tomorrow's Fire is set for release on 13 October via Full Time Hobby and is available to pre-order.
