Morgan Nagler, releases the second single under her own name, “Orange Wine.” The track follows debut “Cradle The Pain”. Los Angeles based singer-songwriter recently completed a tour supporting Kim Deal. She will join Rilo Kiley on a run of dates this spring, and a show with Kurt Vile in Orange County on June 19th. Nagler will also play a headline show on June 4th in Los Angeles at Zebulon. A full list of dates is below.

Nagler sings: “Where the hills are alive / Podcasters on legal speed / Acting natural on home grown weed / Composting organic ego feed / Talking the fabric of time / Drinking orange wine.” She comments, “Orange Wine is about living in Los Angeles in the modern age. It’s a caricature of itself and of myself. It’s a love and hate relationship. I’m not interested unless it’s heartbreaking – but heartbreakingly beautiful is the ultimate yin yang.”

“Orange Wine” was produced by Kyle Thomas (aka King Tuff), who also co-wrote with Nagler, mixed by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Snail Mail) and features a stellar backing band including Thomas on guitar, backing vocals from Allison Crutchfield and Bethany Cosentino, Gabe Noel (Kamasi Washington, Kendrick Lamar) on bass, and Josh Adams (Cat Power, Weyes Blood) on drums. The song’s accompanying video was directed by Christian Stavros and edited by David Checel.

Nagler, known for her bands Whispertown and Supermoon, has also written songs for The Breeders, Haim, Madi Diaz, and a GRAMMY-nominated song with Phoebe Bridgers.
