The Past Is Still Alive is the follow-up to their 2022 album, Life On Earth, and is produced by Brad Cook, mixed by Mike Mogis and features contributions from Conor Oberst, Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy and more. The new album is released on February 23 by Nonesuch Records. You can pre-order by clicking here.
“The Past Is Still Alive is an album grappling with time, memory, love and loss, recorded in Durham, NC a month after losing my Father,” says Segarra. “‘Alibi’ is a plea, a last-ditch effort to get through to someone you already know you’re gonna lose. It’s a song to myself, to my Father, almost fooling myself because I know what’s done is done. But it feels good to beg. A reckoning with time and memory. The song is exhausted with loving someone so much it hurts. Addiction separates us. With memories of the Lower East Side in the early 2000s of my childhood, mixed with imagery of the endless West that calls to artists and wanderers.”
