New York-based Folk-Pop artist Mackenzie Shivers has shared her latest single, “pedestal,” the second track to arrive from her forthcoming album primrose was in season, which is due in Spring 2024. The new single is a kind of love song that speaks to grounded experience rather than airy ideals.

The new album offers a window onto the artist’s healing process after losing her first pregnancy, exploring “resilience and vulnerability.”

Shivers shares about the track:

‘pedestal’ is, at its core, a love song. Being in the thick of it with the one you love. The face we show to the world, to ourselves, to the ones we love. A lullaby for lost love, found love, messy love, self love, enduring love.

“pedestal” follows the release of the album’s opener, “a cautionary tale,”  “a cautionary tale” and “pedestal” will be available to purchase as a 7” vinyl exclusively on Bandcamp, and are available to preorder.

Shivers’ fourth full-length album primrose was in season, produced by frequent collaborator Kevin Salem (Rachel Yamagata, Emmylou Harris), “intertwine magic with grief, illustrating the two can, and often do, co-exist.”
