MoreHaley Bonar has just announced that her new album ‘Impossible Dream’ will be released on 5 August and has just shared the first single off the album ‘I Can Change’ via Stereogum. Check it out below:
‘Impossible Dream’ is the follow up to 2014’s brilliant ‘Last War’. Haley says of Impossible Dream:
“Everybody wants a story. Something to sell. I’m here to tell you that there isn’t one with this album, at least in the traditional sense, but ten. I could sit here and tell you that some of the songs are about growing up in the Black Hills. Some of the songs are about my parents. Some of the songs are about homosexuality. Some of the songs are about loss of youth, teenage parenthood, the lines of social disorder for women, or the terror of jealousy and suspicion. But what I write is borne of my own set of memories and ideas, and once they are released into the world, they do not belong to me anymore.”
Preorder ‘Impossible Dream’ on CD, teal coloured vinyl or iTunes and receive ‘I Can Change’as an instant download.
