BROTHER BIRD
RELEASES INTROSPECTIVE & TRANQUIL NEW SINGLE “ALWAYS”
WATCH/SHARE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO + STREAM ON DSPS
Nashville-based singer-songwriter, brother bird releases the introspective and tranquil new single “always” today alongside the official video from her upcoming album, another year due March 8, 2024, via Easy Does It Records. [Pre-save].
In discussing the single, Caroline said, “I wrote this song with luke sital singh & tim bruns back in 2021. we were initially writing with the intent to pitch for sync (TV/film placements), but the melody felt more personal to me. When I started cutting songs for this record I became obsessed with this one being on there… i was going through something really intense at the time and wanted the lyrics to lend themselves to that. Hit a little closer to home, and most of the time the only way I can access that is in a room by myself. Almost subconsciously… it’s weird how certain words come to you before you even know what they mean. This song is a perfect example of that.”

another year is brother bird’s most soul-stirring collection yet. The album, co-produced and written by Caroline, while working with producer Owen Lewis, draws from the Cranberries’ melodic vibe, the shoegaze influence of Mazzy Star, and the guitar tones of Big Thief. Under the surface lies a common muse: waiting for something to happen.
The songwriting on another year floats through challenging times, struggling with the big questions that face humanity and how we navigate our most intimate relationships on “state of mind,” “ghost,” and “always” whereas “suburbs” veers down a road not taken, while “final scene” creates a love song for the end of the world. She also includes “famous” which addresses her first taste of success after appearing on national television as a younger artist. “I have around ten versions of this song, it was going to be on my first, self-titled EP from 2018,” she remembers. After multiple rewrites and sessions with different producers, it finally went from the pain-in-the-ass song she couldn’t give up on into a bitingly funny commentary on self-doubt and the crippling anxiety that can come packaged with a certain level of fame.

brother bird is music that lives in tight, intimate spaces, based on real experience, and full of the embarrassments and small indignities that come with being human, as filtered through the eyes and pen of Caroline Glaser, professionally known as brother bird.
The 2024 album another year follows her 2018 self-titled EP where she embraces an intimate, ethereal style of indie rock, and the debut of her 2021 full-length album, gardens both produced by her close friends, Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra.
Caroline has toured with Manchester Orchestra on their co-headlining tour with The Front Bottoms and has opened up for artists such as Pete Yorn, Cavetown, Pinegrove, and Bad Books, a band led by Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra. In addition, Caroline sang back-vocals on the Bad Books II: Revisited anniversary record that was released in October and they just announced Caroline as a new band member.
