Down And Out In Party City

"I am writing this from Nashville with a cat on my lap, listening to the birds outside the window. Bliss! It’s been a little while in the making, but I’m finally happy to share that my new EP, 'Down And Out In Party City" comes out this summer on CD and 10" Vinyl EP on August 21st, 2026. The streaming version is available today, May 14th. To celebrate the release, we also have new t-shirts, limited run posters, and handwritten lyrics available from the Bandcamp shop. These songs were recorded by Jordan Lehning in Nashville, and are very much in the same universe as the tracks on 'The Resurrection Game'. I love working with Jordan, he’s a sensitive, creative soul with an incredible talent for arrangement, and a kindness and patience that makes him a delight to collaborate with. The cover art was designed by Reno Bo, a wonderful Nashville musician who also happens to be fab at graphic design. The references I gave him were vintage 7" EP's from the 1960's and old school Penguin paperbacks, since I’m a collector of both. I’m really happy with how it turned out! The photo is by another super talented local creative, Laura Partain. She shot the cover of the 1st EP I made way back in 2013, and it’s lovely to work with her again. I’m really proud of this EP and I hope you dig it! Peace, love and collectibles." ~ Emma Swift
