Palberta’s Lily Konigsberg and Water From Your Eyes’ Nate Amos have announced Cry Mfer—their debut album as My Idea—with a video for the title track. It’s due out April 22 via Hardly Art. Check out the video for “Cry Mfer” below.
Konigsberg and Amos have said the album represents their “collective breaking point,” and that they each decided to quit drinking after recording it. “In the moment I thought I was needing a big life change and shift, like I had been stuck in something, and I was right, I just went about it in a very wrong way,” Konigsberg said in a statement. “And now the thing that I’m needing, I’m getting, actually, which is through being sober and getting my life together. I was telling myself a lot of stuff through those lyrics that was subconscious. I thought I was talking to other people, but I was talking to myself.”
My Idea’s debut five-song EP, That’s My Idea, was released last July.
