Their new album, ‘COUNTERCLOCKWISE’ marks their eighth album with the label, officially released May 2025. The songs and production offer the most encompassing, richly lived-in sonic world of all their releases. Their timeless 'songtelling' practice is entwined with a holistic view of a life in music - celebrating the mundane details of home and family, elevated by a mystical and fantastical perspective.

DAWN McCARTHY's voice (which THE NEW YORKER described as “one of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music") opens hearts and minds from a whisper to a rallying battle cry into her mythical world, animated by the adventurous musicality and vocals of partner NILS FRYKDAHL (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum). Their daughters, growing up alongside the writing, recording and touring since babies, now join them with additional vocals, flute, keyboard, bass and percussion.
