Flock Of Dimes has shared the opening track of her upcoming third album.
Afraid is a pared back acoustic arrangement that highlights Jenn Wasner's vulnerable lyricism. Introducing it, she said:
"This song is an intention, an incantation, a prayer. It says: I accept what has happened, but I refuse to let it dictate the outcome of my life. We all enter this world untainted, and our circumstances dictate the weight that we will have to carry throughout the rest of our lives. For some, this weight is far greater than it is for others. This song is a mantra for those who wish to believe that we can transcend the circumstances over which we had no control."
Head below to view the Spencer Kelly-directed video, which features Wasner surrounded by projections of old amateur home videos from her childhood.
The song marks the second preview of 'The Life You Save', due out on October 10, following the previously unveiled lead single, Long After Midnight.
The singer-songwriter and Wye Oak member will hit the road for a fall US tour in support of the album. Head here for details. Tickets are on sale now.
