Flock of Dimes announces second album with lead cut "Two"

"Two" is the first taster of Flock of Dimes' new album, and follows last year's Like So Much Desire EP.

The new single is accompanied by a video directed by Lola B. Pierson and Cricket Arrison that stars Wasner and Arrison.

Wasner says, ""Two" is about trying to find a kind of balance between independence and interdependence, and the multitudes within ourselves. It's about trying to reconcile the desire to maintain a sense of personal autonomy and freedom with the need to connect deeply with others. And it's about struggling to feel at home in a body, and learning how to accept that the projection of self that you show to others will always be incomplete."

She adds, "I made this video with an incredible team of generous and talented people, including some very dear old friends. I think what we made captures the spirit of the song perfectly---the sense of delight and wonder at the absurd beauty of everyday life, and the true moments of spontaneous joy that can erupt in those rare moments when you catch a glimpse of yourself the way others see you."

Head of Roses will follow Flock of Dimes' 2016 debut album If You See Me, Say Yes, and marks Wasner's first solo album since signing to Sub Pop last year.

Wasner says of the new album, "I think I’ve finally reached a point in my career where I feel comfortable enough with myself and what I do, that I’m able to relax into a certain simplicity or straight forwardness that I wasn’t comfortable with before."

The album was produced by Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso) and Wasner at Betty’s in Chapel Hill, NC, and features contributions from guitarist Meg Duffy, Bon Iver’s Matt McCaughan, Wye Oak’s Andy Stack, and Landlady’s Adam Schatz.
