Squirrel Flower shares new single, "Intheskatepark"
Squirrel Flower — the moniker of Chicago-based musician Ella Williams — presents her new single, "Intheskatepark", from her forthcoming album, Tomorrow’s Fire.
The track sounds like a dispatch from a bygone world. The scuzzy pop production nods to Guided By Voices, as Williams sings about crushing under summer sunshine.
"I wrote this song in 2019 on a little toy synthesiser. To me, this song is everlasting summer — even as things change, seasons, feelings, relationships, you can still try and feel the perfect lightness of summer, of a new crush, of a pop riff. It's best listened to while biking around in the sunshine," Williams says.
"Intheskatepark" follows the double lead singles, "Full Time Job" and "When a Plant is Dying", and "Alley Light".
Tomorrow’s Fire was produced by Williams herself at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville alongside storied engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Indigo de Souza, Snail Mail), and a studio band composed of Matt McCaughan (Bon Iver), Seth Kauffman (Angel Olsen band), Jake Lenderman (MJ Lenderman, Wednesday), and Dave Hartley (The War on Drugs).
"Intheskatepark" is out now. Tomorrow's Fire is set for release on 13 October via Full Time Hobby and is available to pre-order.
