"After years delving into instrumental music due to a vocal injury, Gia Margaret is singing again. A new album, Singing, is due April 24 via Jagjaguwar, and you can listen to "Everyone Around Me Dancing" today. A tour of North America and Europe follows in May; find those dates below. Singing was recorded between London, Eau Claire, and Chicago with support players including Kurt Vile, David Bazan, Bon Iver's Sean Carey, Stars ' Amy Millan, the Weepies' Deb Talan, and Frou Frou's Guy Sigsworth."
"Margaret says in press materials, "There was a time when I really didn't know if I would sing again. So once I healed, there was a lot of internal pressure to come back strong. I didn't know who I was anymore. So it felt like beginning again, and reconnecting with these very old, old parts of myself." The single, she adds, "is a reflection on feeling isolated and the comfort found in that isolation. It is for taking a pause, for being in observation of a very scary and loud world and it is for finding stillness in our own inner worlds too.""
