S.G. Goodman has announced a new album; Planting by the Signs is out June 20 via the Kentucky singer-songwriter’s own label, Slough Water Records, and Thirty Tigers. Guests include Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Matthew Rowan. The follow-up to 2022’s Teeth Marks was inspired by the deaths of Goodman’s dog and a close mentor figure. It’s led by the single “Fire Sign,” which she’s shared today with a video. Watch it below.
“People are quick to tell you that you are not working hard enough, but slow in telling you that you are working hard enough,” Goodman said of “Fire Sign” in a press release, describing the grind of relentless touring. But, she adds, “I found the fire to keep pushing and to make what I believe is my best record yet. ‘Who’ll put the fire out?’ The only person who can put my fire out is myself.”
