Lola Kirke will release a five song EP of country duets - Friends And Foes And Friends Again - on Downtown, September 13, 2019. Today's announcement includes the first track taken from the record, the self-penned “Mama” - featuring Kelly Zutrau - replete with music video directed by Lola's older sister, Jemima Kirke. Jemima spoke of the video saying, “It's a perversion of mine to want to see People in their private moments. I would've loved to have her be defecating on the toilet but decided ravenous eating was just as good, just as grotesquely human.

And then, the relief (and the horror) that comes from that.”
