Babehoven – the Hudson, NY-based project of singer-songwriter Maya Bon and producer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Albert – have announced a new album. I See Them, I See Me, the follow-up to 2024’s Water’s Here in You, is due for release September 18 via Double Double Whammy. The breezily intimate lead single ‘Lasagna’, which follows May’s ‘Blue Around You’, arrives with a music video directed by Ash Kron. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.
“Sometimes when you’re deeply intertwined, you’re so close you can’t really see one another. You want the other to break in two, to reveal what’s underneath,” Bon said in a statement about ‘Lasagna’. “You keep yourself busy, you fill your day with tasks but the other person is waving in the wind all around you, you feel them everywhere. You feel small, stuck, and frantic all at once.”
The duo brought in three different engineers – Sam Evian, Kevin Copeland, and Phil Weinrobe – to capture the songs in four different studios. “We wanted to incorporate a fresh, live, honest feel into the recordings,” they explained. “We actively tried to have more fun with making this album.”
In 2024, during Babehoven’s first headline tour, Bon suffered from paralysis of her right vocal chord, which led to her being unable to sing for much of the next year. She was told she might never recover. “I have so much gratitude now that I am able to sing again,” Bon reflected. “To not only sing, but to sing with joy. I think part of the idea of ‘having fun’ with this album is trying to really enjoy what we can do, the gifts we have.”
