Katie Pruitt Slates New LP ‘Fools For The Fleeting’ For September

/by

Singer-songwriter Katie Pruitt will release her new album, Fools for the Fleeting, on Sept. 18 via Rounder Records. Alongside the announcement, she shared the album’s first single, “Blackout.”

Fools for the Fleeting unfolds as an illuminating meditation on transience and grief, connection as a means of survival, and the healing power of presence and surrender. The follow-up to 2024’s Mantras, one of Fools for the Fleeting‘s underlying themes is the idea of nature as a mirror for our inner lives, with Pruitt tapping the songs as a conduit for communal understanding.

Detailing stories of heartbreak, grief and crises both real and existential, the album finds Pruitt wrestling with how to go on when the world around you is constantly changing. Last month, the Georgia-bred singer shared the timely “Same Boat.”

“This album came from trying to figure out how to move forward in a world that feels aggressively chaotic and constantly in flux,” says Pruitt. “So much has changed in the last few years: politically, technologically, personally, and—of course—the irreversible damage done to our planet’s climate. I’ve been thinking a lot about how everything is temporary, and how that can feel either terrifying or freeing, depending on how you look at it. There’s some somberness to these songs, but I also wanted to include a thread of hope.”
