Edith Frost has announced her first new album since 2005’s It’s a Game. It’s called In Space, and it’s set for release on February 28 via Drag City. Today, the singer-songwriter has shared the lead single, ‘Hold On’, alongside a music video by Simon Russell. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
In Space features arrangements by Mark Greenberg and Rian Murphy, as well as contributions from Jim Becker (Califone, Air Blue Gowns), Sima Cunningham (Finom, formerly OHMME), Bill MacKay, and Jeff Ragsdale.
Back in 2020, Frost broke a 15-year hiatus with the three-song Nothing Comes Around EP. Per a press release, “Edith squirreled herself away for as long as she could — only to find herself isolated, spun even farther into the doldrums. In Space is a very real exploration of the remote place she’d found herself, with her songs measuring the vast distances between herself: the life that is, and the life that was. In addition to new lyrical perspectives, her reinvention as a keyboard player during this long hiatus is one of the waves lifting her new album. The keys suggested different places within Edith’s harmonic palette, creating a deep focus on emotional life within the songs and a breathtakingly visceral presence in the performances.”
