Indie-Pop duo Gracie and Rachel have released new single “Leaving Home Is Going Home” from their upcoming album, If We Could, Would We, due out April 10th, 2026 on Righteous Babe Records.
On “Leaving Home Is Going Home,” Gracie and Rachel focus on the idea that “home exists as much within the self as it does in a physical place.” They are joined by Ani DiFranco, Gail Ann Dorsey, Jesca Hoop and others, who add additional vocals and layers to the piano-driven ballad.
Gracie and Rachel unite their experiences in the song.
They say:
The track explores how departure and arrival blur together, making leaving a sense of ‘home’ sometimes the truest way of finding where you belong. The piece features an incredible cast of characters from our Righteous Babe community and beyond. We wanted a choir of voices to empower a message of longing and connection, from people all over the world, yet under the same moon.
If We Could, Would We is the latest effort from the duo who released their self-titled debut in 2017. Since then, Gracie and Rachel have been on stages opening for Tori Amos, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, and others.

The album If We Could, Would We “confronts regret and vulnerability head-on, landing on one clear truth: the only way out is through.” The duo teamed up with producer Benjamin Lazar Davis (of Joan As Police Woman, Okkervil River) to accompany their sound.
If We Could, Would We expands their instrumentation, with Rachel incorporating the guitar on record for the first time and adding other instruments and textures across tracks. The songwriting process evolved as well, with each artist contributing their own four solo songs and meeting in the middle with four Gracie and Rachel tracks.
After their European tour in 2025 with Ani DiFranco and a series of solo dates, next up for Gracie and Rachel is a March tour with Marissa Nadler.
