On January 31st, Squirrel Flower – the moniker of Ella O’Connor Williams – will release I Was Born Swimming, her debut album which has already been described as the work of “one of 2020’s most engaging new artists” (Q) as well as being tipped for 2020 by The Observer, Stereogum and Metro. Today, she presents ‘Streetlight Blues’. Following previously released songs/videos ‘Red Shoulder‘ and ‘Headlights‘, ‘Streetlight Blues’ showcases the powerful imagery of her lyrics as well as the multiple sides to her musicianship, at once brooding, emotional and tenacious.
Speaking of the track Squirrel Flower says:

“I wrote this song because I was overcome by the image of insects flying towards streetlights and bug lamps in the late summer, attracted to the light but also flying to their death. This song is angsty. It’s partly about blowing off your friends to dance alone in waves of emotion, partly about the end of something- life, seasons, a relationship, a streetlamp.”
Throughout the 12 songs that make up I Was Born Swimming, landscapes change and relationships shift. The lyrics feel like effortless expressions of exactly the way it feels to change — abstract, determined and hopeful.
The band on I Was Born Swimming plays with delicate intention, keeping the arrangements natural and light while Williams’ lead guitar is often fiercely untethered. The album was tracked live, with few overdubs, at The Rare Book Room Studio in New York City with producer Gabe Wax (Adrienne Lenker, Palehound, Cass McCombs). The musicians were selected by Wax and folded themselves into the songs effortlessly. At the heart of the album lives Williams’ haunting voice and melancholic, soulful guitar.Squirrel Flower will be playing a handful of shows around album release in UK & Europe, details below.
