Squirrel Flower unveils new songs, "Not Me" and "Sick Tooth"

The new tracks follow lead single "Reelin", released just last month. "Not Me" arrives as a heartland rock song inspired by a dream that Williams had in New Mexico. “This song came to me upon waking in Silver City, NM," she explains. "I literally rolled out of bed, having had a dream about somebody, grabbed my guitar and pressed record. I’d been reading ‘Women Who Run with the Wolves,’ my grand handbook for life. I was reading a passage about not compromising. Not ‘taking what you can get,’ but taking all that you wish for. Not in a gluttonous way, rather refusing to deprive yourself of desires and the intuitive flow towards those desires.”

She continues: “I’d been listening to so much Linda Ronstadt when I wrote it, and I think that really came through. I wanted to let myself really sing, and produce and arrange the song in a way that allowed that.”

By contrast, Sick Tooth is a short indie rock number that ties into the overall sound of Say a Prayer to the Gods of Getting Going, as led by producer Alex Farrar.

Just ahead of the album's release, Squirrel Flower will support Ethel Cain at her Chicago show in August before continuing a North American run in autumn.
