Meg Baird has a new album on the way, her first solo record since 2015’s Don’t Weigh Down the Light. It’s titled Furling and it’s out January 27 via Drag City. The guitarist and singer-songwriter has shared “Will You Follow Me Home?” with a video to preview the LP. Take a look below.
After Don’t Weigh Down the Light, Baird traded guitar duties for drums in the heavy psychedelic rock act Heron Oblivion. In 2018, she and Mary Lattimore issued the full-length Ghost Forests, and she later joined Bill Callahan and Bonnie “Prince” Billy on a cover of Little Feat’s “I’ve Been the One.” Baird released a new solo piece titled “Cross Bay” via Bandcamp in 2020. Earlier this year, she contributed backing vocals to Joan Shelley’s “Forever Blues” and “Between Rock & Sky” on the Kentucky singer-songwriter’s June album The Spur.
