S.G. Goodman announces her third studio album, Planting by the Signs, due out June 20 via her very own Slough Water Records / Thirty Tigers. Her first album in three years, it is a reminder of the Kentucky born and raised singer-songwriter’s razor-sharp lyricism, singular voice and seamless blend of indie rock and subtle rural influences. Pre-order Planting by the Signs here.
Out today is “Fire Sign,” the first offering from the new album, a self-reflective rocker with old time phrases and an unforgettable hook. Watch the music video for the track below…
S.G. says about “Fire Sign,” “After touring relentlessly for 2 years, ‘living like the sun don’t shine / on the same dog’s ass everyday,’ as the song puts it, I came off the road questioning my purpose and choices. People are quick to tell you that you are not working hard enough, but slow in telling you that you are working hard enough. That seems to be up to you, as well as your ‘why?’. Despite this burnout and other personal setbacks, I found the fire to keep pushing and to make what I believe is my best record yet. ‘Who’ll put the fire out?’ The only person who can put my fire out is myself.”
