'Over Easy' is out now

The third single from our forthcoming album Dreams! The Dead! Ghost! Future, ‘Over Easy,’ is an ode to ambiguous grief, memory, forgiveness, and breakfast. The lyrics of the song reflect upon Rachel’s complicated relationship with her estranged father, and recall memories as vivid vignettes that take place in the kitchen. This song’s creation is an example of our current working style, with lyrics written by Rachel as a fragmented collage. These fragments were put together into a melodic structure by Thu, and then the song was honed and edited as a whole by both writers. The song’s waltzing tempo, lilting melody, and poetic lyricism earned us a spot as finalists in the Kerrville Folk Festival’s NewFolk Competition back in 2022, a prestigious honor previously held by the likes of Adrianne Lenker, Anna Tivel, and Lucinda Williams, just to name a few. We wanted to use magical realism in the lyrics to instill the emotionality of ambiguous grief into otherwise mundane-seeming details, like making breakfast.

The song features a beautiful violin solo by Boston-based violinist Jenna Moynihan. Click below to give it a listen.
