Alaska Reid announces debut album co-produced by A. G. Cook with first single "Back To This"

"Back To This" is Reid's first new outing since joining Dylan Fraser on "Vampire" in July last year, and is teamed with a Santiago Cendejas-directed video.

The new single was co-written with A. G. Cook, and was inspired by a hike in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Reid explains, "It was late summer and they [a group of forest service workers] looked happy and dusty. It was like a painted reverie from a classical painting. I fantasize about other people’s lives, other people’s professions, and writing is a way I can approximate what it must be like to be someone else. So this song is about stumbling upon a scene in someone else’s life and wanting to be a part of it, but it’s also about wondering if I ever seemed as cool or as worthy as those smokejumpers did.I also had this idea of looking back at a photo and wondering why, at the time, I did not feel like the version of myself looking back in the photo."

"Back To This" is the lead outing from Reid's upcoming debut album Disenchanter, which is co-produced with Cook and was written while touring.

Reid explains, "I love country music because I love storytelling. Every track on this album has an element of my autobiography in it, but the dosage varies. I write composite characters, or characters based on friends, squirreling bits of fiction in with truth."
