NYC folk artist Eliza Edens has unveiled their new single "Westlawn Cemetery."

The song, which can be heard below, comes from Edens’ forthcoming sophomore album We'll Become the Flowers. The 10-track album, which was co-produced by Pat Keen and Dexter Wolfe, is slated to arrive on October 14.

Edens said this about the song:

“During the depths of the pandemic, I was hunkering down at my childhood home with my parents in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. I went for walks every day, usually just up the street to a small, bucolic cemetery where I formed many early memories – sledding, walking the dog, learning to drive. During this time while I was home, it started to become clear that my mother needed extra care due to her illness. One afternoon on one of my walks, I started thinking a lot about mortality, the irony of gravestones, and how much time she spent as a professional gardener – tending to the earth and making the world a more beautiful place in the most literal way. Those thoughts swirled together, and this song manifested after fussing around in a tuning I learned from a Nick Drake song. My collaborator Pat had the idea of putting very thick, low-end electronic drums on the song which adds a felt heartbeat and weight to the song. It's all about the difficulty of accepting change and death.”

Pre-orders for We'll Become the Flowers can be made here.

On October 18, Edens will have a record release show at The Sultan Room with special guests Hayfitz and Lily Talmers. Tickets for the show are on sale to the general public here.
