Jessica Pratt has announced her fourth studio LP. Titled Here in the Pitch, the album is due out May 3 on Mexican Summer.
The news comes with the release of the project’s lead single, “Life Is,” Pratt’s first new song in five years, as well as a music video co-directed by Pratt and Colby Droscher. The new track is a upbeat forward march, a musical representation of undirected ambition whose tone belies an undercurrent of skepticism in the lyrics.
Pratt’s delivery is as cheerful as the triumphant drums, bass, and strings that undergird it — production that’s likened in a press release to the orchestral excess of ’60s pop hits like The Walker Brothers’ “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” — but her words are ever-so-slightly out of sync: “Time is time and time and time again / And what would you say if you can’t get out of here?” she sings. “Time is time and time and time again / To make your escape you’ve captured the captor’s fear.” Read Next: Jessica Pratt shares “Aeroplane” and talks recording her new album Quiet Signs It’s an entirely distinct spiritual exercise from the earnest intimacy that characterized previous projects like 2019’s Quiet Signs, but Pratt says it’s “kind of a false flag,” claiming the rest of the album more reflective of her earlier work.
“Life came and went and you didn’t land where you thought you would,” she says of the track’s ambiguous theme. “It’s the third act and you’re trying to climb back on the horse before it gets dark.” According to the press release, the shadowy visual treatment for “Life Is” was shot in New York City late last year and inspired by the films of Kenneth Anger and Stan Brakhage.

Playing through it a bit differently each show, we were learning to look at the song from different angles.”They continued: “The recording feels live because of this process — there’s a chaotic feeling in the drums and bass that wouldn’t be there if we hadn’t finished writing it live,” shares lead vocalist Sam Slocum, “Lyrically I was thinking about why we judge the world around us, and how passing judgment on someone or something is usually rooted in being unsure in oneself.”Directed by Gabriel Long, the track’s accompanying video features the band performing the song in a posh restaurant while a restaurant guest looks uninterested and disconnected from her conversation.Been Stellar have also announced their signing to independent label Dirty Hit (The 1975, Beabadoobee, Bleachers) and have shared ‘Scream From New York, NY’, their first full length offering from their new label home.
