Overview

  • The 11-track release arrived Sept. 19 on Concord Records, marking the singer’s first studio LP since 2014.
  • A nine-city U.S. tour runs Nov. 16–29, with general ticket sales opening Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. local time.
  • McLachlan says joint therapy with her daughter India helped reframe conflict as anxiety and led to a “shift” in their relationship.
  • She reflects that the ASPCA “Angel” PSA left many viewing her as somber even as it raised about $30 million in a year, a result she says she’s grateful for despite finding the ad hard to watch.
  • The album blends songs written as long as 14 years ago with recent material and features new collaborators, including a duet with MUNA’s Katie Gavin.
