Cable Ties announce new album All Her Plans with second single "Time For You"

""Time For You" is about feeling safe and happy with someone," says Jenny McKechnie about the new song. "I’m a pretty chaotic and anxious person. I often feel like I’m barely holding everything together and never have enough time for everything I’ve planned."

Their upcoming album All Her Plans is the follow-up to 2020's Far Enough, and McKechnie admits that she struggled to write another album after all tour dates were scrapped for the release of Far Enough. “It felt as though that album had been lost. I thought I needed to write another album like that again, which wouldn’t be lost. This of course wasn’t true. I needed to write whatever album came out of me at this moment in time," she says.

On the new album, drummer Shauna Boyle sings lead for the first time with "Thoughts Back", which she reveals is a song about mental health struggles. “I wrote this song mostly centered around my own experiences with mental illness,” she says. “It also plays into the themes of the record, such as care-giving and mental workload. So often people give up their own lives to help others and, as a result, rarely have their voices, their experiences or their history acknowledged.”

Bassist Nick Brown says the writing process for All Her Plans was liberating. "There was just a sense of enjoying being back together doing what we love. No pressure to make it good – just to make what felt good. With that came a freeing and in turn a playfulness; the re-sparking of why we started jamming together in a shed seven years earlier. The themes might be heavy, but the hands feel unburdened by the world outside our little practice space."
