‘Shadow on My Light’ is the new album from
@maddykirgo and it’s coming August 16th! The first single, “Try Harder”, is out now. Link in bio to listen to the track where you do and also think about pre-ordering a LP, CD, or cassette!
Maddy and
@rettrogers also made this gorgeous video for “Try Harder” for you to check out. It’s premiering over at
@pastemagazine today. Here’s a little of what Maddy wrote for them about the track:
“I started writing this song in February of 2021 as the world was just sort of opening up again, and I was trying to figure out how I wanted to re-enter society,” Kirgo says of “Try Harder.” “It seemed like everyone I followed on social media at the time was thriving, and I was about to start feeling like shit, but then I was like, ‘Oh yeah, none of that is real! Ha! So this is my lament on being a confused young person, just trying my best most of the time. This was the first song I wrote with the intention of it being on a full-length album, and I think it sets the general tone of the record. This is also the first song we recorded. Nick [Corson], Duncan [Troast] and I really got to know each other on this track! We spent hours playing around with sounds and really took our time with it.”
And also Maddy is on the road with
@chrisacker_growthsprout and the gang starting tomorrow. Go say hi if you feel like it:
