Harrison Lipton will release his new album Between Us There Runs a Tether on May 7h via Amuse. The album’s beginnings go back to a breakup in 2021 that saw Lipton pack up all his belongings and leave LA to move back to New York heartbroken. Inspired by those few weeks of driving aimlessly cross-country, he returned to the upright piano in the living room of his family home in Connecticut, and in one take with tears streaming down his face, wrote the album track “All For Granted.”

Lipton will host an album release show at Brooklyn’s Public Records this Friday, May 9. The night will be opened by Fetch Tiger and Sofia D’Angelo.

“This album is a snapshot of my late 20s,” Lipton shares. “Feeling down and out, feeling pressured to find the right person to be with, trying to figure out where to go from here, looking in the rearview mirror and seeing the trailing end of a rope connecting the dots between highs, lows, mistakes, heartbreak, joy. And then at the same time, looking forward and seeing that same rope stretching into the future with all the endless possibilities and realizing that I’m just at one point on that line, because Between Us There Runs a Tether.”

He said, “I, in turn, wanted my own project to obsess over and tweak ad infinitum, an outlet to express myself. My circumstances of broken relationships and self-defeat meshed with my growing interest in the paradigm of the down-and-out songwriter, the lone cowboy who lost everything, and propelled me toward leaning into my own take on the soft-rock sound of the late ‘70s. I had finally allowed myself the space to create a record that felt very, very me. This is the truest manifestation of my love for music, and I hope it serves as helping people recognize that this is what a Harrison Lipton song sounds like.”

Truly building a community around his work, from the guest features from Yot Club and MICHELLE’s Layla Ku, to using studio space from Ian Bakerman and Aidan Ludlam of booyah! kids, Lipton can’t help but to feel grateful. “The point is that it takes a village, and the fact that a community of NYC musicians came together and believed in this album is a tremendous gift, and one that I will cherish long after it’s out.”
