Bartees Strange continues his ascension to indie stardom. He recently signed to iconic indie label 4AD, and now, he’s readied his first album for the group, Farm to Table, due out June 17th. In conjunction with the album news, the artist has shared the appropriately swaggering new single “Cosigns,” which you can listen to below.
As Bartees Strange’s second LP, Farm to Table is the work of an artist whose career is on the rise. A laid back, atmospheric hip-hop number, “Cosigns” tackles this success with a healthy braggadocio, as Strange name drops the indie stars he now counts as peers. He hits up Phoebe Bridgers, Courtney Barnett, and Lucy Dacus, and perhaps most exciting of all, he’s befriended Bon Iver. “I’m on Facetime, I’m with Justin, we already friends,” Strange repeats, increasingly emphatic. Who said success sucks?
“Cosigns” follows the previous single “Heavy Heart,” which will also appear on Farm to Table. While the album hits streaming services this summer, physical formats won’t be available until October 7th. In any case, you can preorder the LP here, and scroll onward to see its artwork and tracklist.
Last month, Bartees Strange covered The National’s “About Today” for the suicide prevention nonprofit Sounds of Saving’s “Song That Found Me at the Right Time” series.
The artist is currently traveling North America opening for Car Seat Headrest, and in July, he’ll head over to Europe for a run of headlining dates. All of Bartees Strange’s upcoming shows are listed below, and tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
