claire rousay has shared details of her new album, a little death.

Due to be released via her frequent label home of Thrill Jockey, the eight-track record is centred around field recordings that the artist captured at nighttime. It’s said to form the final part of a trilogy of albums that has previously included a heavenly touch and a softer focus.

Speaking about how a little death compares to previous studio album sentiment, rousay said: “sentiment was a different way of working that helped refresh my music-making habits and usual flow. This record is a return to what I see as my core solo practice, a re-dedication to those methods of working which I’ve found most align with what I envision my music or sound to be.”

Listen to the m. sage-featuring lead track ‘just’ below.

Thrill Jockey will release a little death on October 31, 2025.
