Ahead of the album’s release, the band have shared the new single & video “Grains of Salt,” which features a variety of Seattle’s finest drag performers. Emily Nokes, bassist Bree McKenna, guitarist Eric Randall, and drummer Lelah Maupin—first started in 2007.

Emily Nokes on the album, track, and video;

“We can examine some hard stuff, make fun of some evil stuff, feel some soft feelings, feel some rage feelings, feel some bitter-ass feelings, sift through memories, feel wavy-existential, and still go get a banana daiquiri at the end. It’s finally happening! We’re beyond excited to show everyone “Grains of Salt”! We love all our song children, but this one might be our favorite ever.

The video is also super special! We were really lucky to get to work with some of our favorite Seattle performers and friends, not to mention an ace video team. Seattle is so talented it’s ridiculous. (Shoutout to the giant glasses of room-temp blue milk that somehow never spilled a drop!)”
