Brother Bird, aka Caroline Glaser, today has shared her new single “Landlord,” from her upcoming album The Lodge In Miller County, due out September 25th via Easy Does It Records. The effervescent, rhythmic track follows album singles “Dirt, “Pariah” and “Chameleon.” Brother Bird recently wrapped up a tour opening for Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra), which included dates at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music and NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge.
Glaser’s songwriting lives in tight, intimate spaces, full of the embarrassments and small indignities that come with being human. An early brush with televised stardom shaped her ambitions in music. It made her certain she didn’t want to be a product, and led her to the realization that actually making music is what she cares about. She gave herself the role of captain of the ship, working closely with friends and mentors Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra on her first LP, Gardens, before co-producing and writing her 2024 Easy Does It Records debut, Another Year, with producer Owen Lewis.
Beyond Brother Bird, Glaser has stayed busy. Last year she announced Funambulist, a new band with longtime friend and collaborator Kevin Devine, formed after months on the road together. She opened for and accompanied Devine on the Make the Clocks Worse tour (the joint anniversary run for KD’s Make the Clocks Move and New Amsterdam’s Worse for the Wear), along with a handful of solo shows and Bad Books dates. She has since been invited to sing on Bad Books 2 (Revisited) alongside longtime collaborators and pals Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, and has been quietly writing with Hull on a separate project for the past few years, with more to share soon.
