Today, Brooklyn's Wharf Cat Records announced the Scribble Benefit Compilation, whose proceeds go to Scribble, a Los Angeles organization that provides sliding-scale psychotherapy while also serving as a music venue and creative hub. The lead single is out now, and it's Lily Konigsberg's first new music since her 2021 LP Lily We Need To Talk Now (which earned our Album Of The Week honor).
"'Is It Over?' is an outtake from my next album that was written in a time of desperation," Konigsberg explains. "I really wanted to feel better, but I was really deep in an intense time, so feeling better felt very far away. Life is extremely challenging sometimes, and talking to someone about it can be an invaluable life-line. That’s why what Scribble is doing is so important and I was happy to contribute to this benefit compilation."
Since releasing her last record, Konigsberg shared an album with Nate Amos called CRY MFER under the name My Idea. She also contributed to the Giant Sand covers compilation. Hear "Is It Over?" below.
