Following a couple of singles, Laura Jane Grace has just announced her next solo album, Hole In My Head.
Due out on February 16 via Big Scary Monsters, the record features the previously-released Dysphoria Hoodie and Cuffing Season, as well as newest effort Birds Talk Too (which you can hear below).
Speaking about how that track came to be, Laura explains, “Ten years ago I started getting tattooed by a Japanese tattoo artist named Gakkin. I travelled all around the world getting the work done literally starting with my feet and ending with getting my head tattooed in Amsterdam in July of 2022.
“At the end of our session, Gakkin gifted me a hand-painted Gretsch guitar, covered in beautiful, intricate, swirling design. I took the guitar back to my hotel room and immediately wrote Birds Talk Too. The lyrical references are all Amsterdam: Schipol is the airport, Rookies is my favourite cannabis cafe and Champagne Haze is my favourite strain.”
