Jess Williamson announces new album with lead cut "Hunter"

"Hunter" is Williamson's first new material since last year's I Walked With You A Ways album as Plains, her collaborative project with Waxahatchee's Katie Crutchfield, and arrives with a Rocco Rivetti-directed video.

"If you’ve been ghosted, if you’ve chased after an unavailable person, if you’ve been given crumbs when you need a full meal, "Hunter" is a song for you," Williamson explains. "I wrote it during a time when I was heartbroken over a breakup and experimenting with dating in Los Angeles. That era felt like being thrown to the wolves, but it helped me to see myself and what I really wanted more clearly. This song is an anthem for the true lovers out there, anyone who is hunting for the real thing."

Time Ain’t Accidental will follow Williamson's 2020 solo album Sorceress, and started with her tracking demos based on her dating experiences amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic using an iPhone drum machine app. She then took the demos to Brad Cook (who produced Plains' debut album) in Durham, North Carolina, who encouraged Williamson to keep the drum machine app beats, teaming them with banjos and steel guitars.
