Avery Tucker collaborates with A.G. Cook on “My Life Isn’t Leaving You”

Avery Tucker releases “My Life Isn’t Leaving You,” off his forthcoming debut solo album, Paw, available October 10th. Tucker co-produced with A. G. Cook, he says “A lot of the songs on Paw are about being in a sea storm while I’m steering the boat trying to survive. The song ‘My Life Isn’t Leaving You,’ is a song on the album that answers a larger question: Why journey through the storm? This song explores my devotion. How far will I go? It’s about my attachment to my own desire, and the reason I’ll do it, ‘I can tell my life isn’t leaving you, it’s not supposed to.’”
Paw marks a profound turning point in a musical career already steeped in radical self-discovery, raw honesty, and boundless curiosity. Known to many as one half of indie rock duo Girlpool, Tucker now emerges on his own terms—with a voice honed by transformation, a guitar still pulsing with obsession, and a set of songs that burn with clarity, introspection, and emotional courage.
The LP was recorded in Livingston, MT and Encino, CA, Paw was shaped in collaboration with Alaska Reid, producer A. G. Cook (co-produced the track “My Life Isn’t Leaving You”), Katie Gavin of MUNA (feat. on “Angel”) and Aaron Maine of Porches, who sings and produces on “Baby Broke.” Reid, in particular, played a key role in helping Tucker remain instinctual and avoid self-censorship. “She encouraged me to not shy away from the rawness I had written. Instead of dressing the songs in production, she pushed me to serve the spirit of the songs,”
