Suz's First Single Out Now!
Today is a big day! Suz's first single "Beautiful Mess" from her forthcoming solo record is out in the wild world. I couldn't be more proud of her for making this gorgeous, fierce work of art. It was an honor to witness the alchemy of her art-making, these nine indelible songs conjured out of the darkness and pain of depression and mania, a friend's suicide, a traumatic birth experience.
For over 15 years, she's been an essential part of the band's songwriting in a multi-dimensional role as editor, critic, first listener, melody improver, and muse. But, wow! To see her step out on her own as a masterful songwriter has been such a joy and a gift.
If you want to help out today, you can stream the single (like non-stop stream it) on Spotify or Apple Music, share with a friend, pre-order the record, and dance along in your kitchen until your kids say they're ready for something else, which maybe happened this morning here at home.
And much love and props to producer, musical superhero Anthony da Costa (@dacostaband) for being the perfect midwife for these songs!
