I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…
It’s amazing, a friend got an autographed album for me, but she also included another surprise, I DIDN’T EXPECT IT, I PROMISE !!! In none of the past eras had I been able to get merch, hardly and I have the records, and now my parents are going through an economic crisis due to COVID and I had not had the opportunity to buy anything in this era, the cardigan seemed BEAUTIFUL but I think that I will stay with the desire … but the fact that someone has looked for an autographed album for me, and has sent it to Mexico makes it really very special, nobody had done this for me, and I really value and appreciate it very much, THANK YOU JENN!
