“‘The Main Thing’ is about growing apart from someone whose perspective you once shared,” Tom McGreevy said in a statement. “Being in lockstep with another person and then suddenly realizing you are no longer aligned. That you’re watching them throw themselves into the same losing battles over and over again, but also recognizing that all that losing might be the right thing to do.”

In February, Colombian-Canadian musician Lido Pimienta shared the music video for "Te Quería".
"The visual for 'Te Quería' has always been conceived as a story about transformation - about getting right back up, despite having our spirit shut down. "Te Quería" is a song that exposes toxic relationships, power imbalances and the need for some people, particularly those who we love the most, to confuse our generosity for stupidity."

“Growing up in Boston, Williams' childhood was steeped in music; her father worked as a touring jazz musician while her classically trained grandparents lived in an artist co-op in upstate New York. Her talents emerged early, and she sang in the Boston Children's Chorus and learned guitar and music theory before immersing herself in the city's D.I.Y. scene during her teenage years.” Read more about Squirrel Flower here:
www.allmusic.com
Squirrel Flower’s Ella Williams says of her music: “I think because of the nature of my music people assume my songs are like diary entries. They’re often not. For this song I wanted to push the boundaries of narrative in my songwriting and embody someone entirely different from me, while talking about things very true to my life. I do that in past albums too, but never before as clearly.”

The newest album from Squirrel Flower (aka Ella Williams), ‘Tomorrow’s Fire,’ came out this past October. The album title comes from a novel Williams’ great-grandfather wrote in 1964 – a name he borrowed from French poet, Rutebeauf.

Don't miss Live Video from Indigo De Souza's March 2022 KEXP In-Studio: bit.ly.
“Everything has to be said.” This is the conviction guiding Indigo De Souza’s sophomore album, Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum—pushing through and against every emotion: “I wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.”
