Following a breakout year for Liz Brasher, including cross country tours with rock and roll legends The Psychedelic Furs and The Zombies as well as Red Wanting Blue, today she's announced her follow up to the Outcast EP from earlier this year with a debut full-length album coming on Fat Possum Records January 18th, 2019. Today sees the first taste of the new album with 'Love Feasts' before Brasher heads back on the road with The Psychedelic Furs for an east coast run this fall. Speaking to the single Brasher says 'Love Feasts' is a stream of subconsciousness that came out of me in maybe 10 minutes. It was fast. I had been reading poetry, the book of Jude, and doing a lot of self-reflecting. In turn, it came out as a mixture of beautiful imagery wrapped in darkness. It's not about any one particular thing. It's a song you can look at from different perspectives and still find new meaning over time. At its core it begs the listener to be watchful of who they let in to their intimate space. It also asks them to always forgive when they have been wronged (the inevitable). To undergo purification, reconciliation, and ultimately completely letting go of what has happened.'
