In 2021, the Ophelias released their third album Crocus, which featured Julien Baker on the lead single “Neil Young On High.” After the collaboration, the indie singer-songwriter told the band that she wanted to produce their next record. Now, the indie rock crew is announcing Spring Grove.
Spring Grove is the first LP produced by Julien Baker, and she also sings harmonies and plays on several tracks. The lead single “Cumulonimbus” is an alluring preview; urgent guitars are laced with evocative violin, and Spencer Peppet's vocals are the cherry on top. Below, watch the video, shot by Paige Hochstatter.
