Boy Scouts, aka Oakland songwriter Taylor Vick, has announced her new album. The follow-up to 2019’s Free Company is called Wayfinder, and it’s out October 1 via Anti-. Check out the Jake Noković–directed video for the album track “That’s Life Honey” below.
“This song is about trying to make light of a shitty situation,” Vick said in a statement. “Having a circumstance that sucks, like wanting to go to therapy but you can’t afford it, and fantasizing about a world where you could get a chip implanted or have some surgery that rewires your brain and resolves you from whatever problems you have. This song is mostly my attempt at writing a tragicomedy, combined with true experiences of figuring out how to open up to people.”
Taylor Vick recorded Wayfinder at the Unknown in Anacortes, Washington. Collaborators on the album include Jay Som’s Melina Duterte and Vick’s brother Travis.
