CHICAGO—Squirrel Flower announced her new album, Say A Prayer To The Gods Of Getting Going, this week. The record marks her first full-length release since 2023. Fans have waited patiently for new music. This period of quiet has led many to speculate about the state of her motivation. The album title itself suggests an internal struggle. Many hope the Gods Of Getting Going will finally intervene. Squirrel Flower hopes to finally get going with this new project.
Desperate Measures
The lead single, “Reelin’,” dropped Tuesday. It features Williams contemplating the existential dread of a blank to-do list. The track sounds less like a rallying cry and more like a sigh. “I just need someone to tell me to get out of bed,” said Brenda Millhouse, Official Squirrel Flower Listener and Aspiring Couch Potato. “This album might actually do it. Or at least make me feel less alone in my inertia.” The band has been largely inactive, only contributing to a few benefit compilations. This has done little to help people get going.
The Divine Intervention
The album’s title suggests a spiritual plea for assistance. Williams seems to be reaching out to higher powers. She hopes to enlist help for her daily tasks. This new direction has baffled some industry observers. “We thought she was just good at taking breaks,” commented Barry Jenkins, Senior Music Analyst and Professional Napper. “Turns out she was just praying. Who knew?” The lead single, “Reelin’,” captures this sentiment perfectly. It’s a ballad for the chronically unmotivated. Squirrel Flower hopes this album will help her get going.
Say A Prayer To The Gods Of Getting Going is out this summer. The press release promises a “deep dive into the universal struggle of procrastination.” Critics are calling it “relatable” and “exactly what my therapist would want me to listen to.” The album aims to inspire listeners to finally get going. Or at least to consider it.
At press time, Williams was reportedly still in bed. She was waiting for the Gods Of Getting Going to deliver her coffee. She hoped the album would inspire her to eventually hit send on the final mastering files.
