Squirrel Flower has shared an emotional new single,"I'll Go Running" from her forthcoming album, Planet (i), out June 25. Buoyed by her steadfast vision and propelled by her burning comet of a voice, Planet (i) is at once a refuge, an act of self-healing, and a musical reflection of Ella Williams' inner and outer worlds. Pre-order your Early Bird copy on Ultra Clear vinyl from the Polyvinyl Store today. 

Following lead single "Hurt A Fly" – which FADER dubbed a hot-headed barnstormer” – "I'll Go Running" begins on a haunting simmer. Ella Williams pitches her voice over languid, slow-burning guitars from quiet resistance to full-on emotional rebellion by the song's end: “I’ll be newer than before / I’ll be something that you’ve never seen.” It's the mantra of an artist in flux, obsessed with motion and change, but determined to move and change on her own terms. 

Williams elaborates on the track: "’I’ll Go Running’ is about the darker side of being an artist - the pressure to make things brand new, shocking, to give everything away and open yourself completely without always getting intentional listening and consumption in return. To be vulnerable to a knife. To be fresh, new, to give it all away. But it's powerful to offer yourself and your art without fear, which is what I try to do with this album. That's why this is the opening track."
