The Davenports recently dropped “The Annabellas of the World.” The song is lifted off their forthcoming album, You Could’ve Just Said That. The song features The Davenports’ songwriter and frontman, Scott Klass, joined Chris Collingwood (Fountains of Wayne), Danny Weinkauf (They Might Be Giants), Philip Price (Winterpills) and more.

“The Annabellas of the World” is the lone song recorded with a full band and in a studio outside of Klass’ home. The single was co-produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields, Bones of J.R. Jones), and the album will be released on Newman’s Mother West Records on January 31, 2025.

Formed in 2000, The Davenports “Five Steps,” the theme song for A&E’s series Intervention. While Klass has remained the sole constant at the heart of the rotating Davenports collective, and in addition to the guest stars appearing on “The Annabellas of the World,” Collaborators have included Dan Miller (They Might Be Giants), Claudia Chopek (Father John Misty, Bright Eyes), Eleanor Norton (Beyoncé, Adele, Natalie Merchant), Tommy Borscheid (Honeydogs, Rhett Miller), Erik Philbrook, Rob Draghi, and Cheri Leone. Klass, also plays alongside Fountains Of Wayne  frontman Chris Collingwood and Philip Price of The Winterpills in Look Park).

You Could’ve Just Said That is the first Davenports album self-recorded at home, with Klass handling nearly every part alongside a few special guests, including his son Matthew (who played all guitar solos). The result is charmingly unfiltered, moment-in-time expressions without third-party interpretations or expectations. Learning recording software as he went, Klass captured musical and lyrical notions right as they coalesced in his mind, free of the scheduled time constraints of commercial studios. “This whole project came directly from my brain to my hands, right onto tape,” Klass states. “It’s more authentic and cohesive than almost anything I’ve ever done.”
