Carissa’s Wierd have announced their first new album in 25 years. Somewhere Further Than Far, the follow-up to 2002’s masterful Songs About Leaving, will be released on January 8 via Nettwerk. Along with the announcement, they’ve shared the gorgeously pensive new song, ‘No One Lives Here Anymore’. Check it out below.
The duo of Jenn Champion and Mat Brookes formed Carissa’s Wierd in Tucson in the mid-’90s, releasing three albums before breaking up in 2003. “We never stopped writing music, but when we make Carissa’s Wierd, we are writing just for each other,” Brooke said in a statement. “I’ll write a song and hope Jenn thinks it’s good and wants to play on it.”
Champion added: “Same, I just want Mat to think what I’m writing is cool. Carissa’s Wierd brings something out in my playing that I can’t do anywhere else.”
