LA-based songwriter and Producer Jordan Patterson has announced her latest project, The Hermit, set to arrive independently on September 19, 2025. The Hermit “casts a light into the spaces where grief, self-inquiry, and spiritual longing meet.”

Entirely self-written and co-Produced alongside JEHU and Eric Van Thyne, the project is a composite Folk and Ambient elements and intensive songwriting.

Accompanying the announcement is Patterson’s latest single, “Racecar.” The ballad is one that Patterson recorded with the children of close family-friends, bringing in three background vocals.

Patterson explains:

Choosing a home is more than a place or even people. Home is like a little star in your chest and whenever it feels, it can come out and shine in the darkest of places and relationships. ‘Racecar’ is my journey to community and a real home.

In 2025, Patterson has opened for Folk Bitch Trio, and played for a sold-out crowd at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles. This past February, Patterson was even asked by Geese frontman, Cameron Winter for an opening set at his sold-out show in LA at Barnsdall Gallery Theatre which earned her a standing ovation.
