Margo Price Is "Unstoppable, Unsinkable, Uninhibited" (The New York Times)

Today, Margo Price unleashes Strays, her "strongest, most cohesive record yet" (Rolling Stone). Featuring "volcanic vocal performances and sharp character studies" (Vulture), as well as Sharon Van Etten, Lucius, and The Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell, the record "struts through big-hearted indie country, honky-tonk stomp and '70s guitar-explosion psychedelia" (The New York Times). Produced by Jonathan Wilson, Straysserves as a resilient proclamation of freedom for Price, who surmounts a lifetime of loss, lies, trauma and substance abuse with ten new songs that prove her place as an independent artist, singular storyteller and endlessly experimental explorer, with so much to say but nothing to prove.
Listen to Strays, out everywhere via Loma Vista Recordings, and tune into CBS Mornings on Monday for a deeper look into the inspiring path Price took to get here
While much of Strays was written in a South Carolina cottage - during six days that the Nashville-based Margo Price spent eating psychedelic mushrooms with her husband and musical partner Jeremy Ivey - the album was primarily recorded in California's Topanga Canyon. There at Jonathan Wilson's studio in the summer of 2021, Price and her longtime band of Pricetags channeled their telepathic abilities into their best recording sessions and most ambitious array of sounds, styles and arrangements to date. As previewed on singles such as "Been To The Mountain," the chart-topping "Change of Heart," and the prescient "Lydia," which The New York Times and PAPER both called one of the Best Songs of 2022, Price sings unabashedly about self-worth, bodily autonomy and a woman's right to choose. Across the rest of the LP, she writes about losing herself in sex, overcoming marital conflict, tuning out haters, the aftermath of quitting drinking and more, as "Strays bursts with easy confidence and kind, stoic pearls of wisdom" (Pitchfork).
Strays was named one of the most anticipated albums of 2023 by TIME, New York Magazine and others, and Price's memoir Maybe We'll Make It was hailed as one of the best music books of 2022 by Variety, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Rough Trade and SPIN. Read about the creation of each in a career-spanning profile written by Melena Ryzik for The New York Times, "The Unstoppable, Unsinkable, Uninhibited Margo Price."
On January 30th, Margo Price will return to the road for the continuation of 'Til The Wheels Fall Off, a headline tour that Pitchfork just listed as one of the most anticipated of the year. The lengthy run will bring her and her band to LA's Fonda Theatre, NYC's Webster Hall, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and two dozen other shows and counting, with tickets available at margoprice.net/#tour.
