Today (7.24), acclaimed Americana and indie-folk singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt shares her newest single - “Little Boxes.” 

Written by Pruitt and produced by Isaiah Beard (Jobi Riccio, Jack Van Cleaf), the timely track examines our growing dependence on technology and the quiet isolation that can come with constant digital connection. Inspired by her own realization that she had become consumed by screens, "Little Boxes" encourages listeners to put down their devices and reconnect with the people and world around them. “I want to find the key to free me from this digital cage,” Pruitt sings as she reflects that technology has only aided in dividing our world even further.

"It's so wild that we spend half our lives on these devices, when what we're craving so badly is true connection," shares Pruitt. "I want to go outside, talk to my neighbors, connect with people and the world around me instead of sitting inside staring at a rectangular box all day."

Building on the momentum of lead single “Blackout,” “Little Boxes” is the latest preview of Fools for the Fleeting, coming September 18 via Rounder Records. With themes of nature, natural disasters both physical and metaphorical, and untethering oneself from technology and distraction in favor of human connection, the 10-track album finds Pruitt searching for hope and ways to move forward in a world that feels increasingly chaotic and uncertain.
