"Everything Almost"
dal nuovo album
Weird Faith
in uscita il 9 febbraio 

Nashville’s Madi Diaz, “one of indie rock’s most searing lyricists and vocalists” (NYLON), will release her new album, Weird Faith, on February 9th via ANTI-. Following 2021’s History of a Feeling, Weird Faith renders a self-portrait that captures Diaz in a fleeting moment in time, hungrily alive and forever searching. Today, Diaz presents the album’s third single, the upbeat and cathartic new number, “Everything Almost.”
 
“Everything Almost” is “about my constant wondering within a relationship,” comments Diaz. “How much should I be saying things out loud or am I saying too much out loud? What should I keep for myself? What’s mine that could become ours, that should become ours? What dreams are just mine that I could share with you only to discover they’re your dreams too? It's an investigation of the depth of how far this thing could go. Am I allowed to keep some of me for me? Saying all of this out loud feels important. It is about realizing I can’t ever be everything for someone but maybe I can be almost everything.” Weird Faith answers these questions bluntly, and chronicles a new relationship, but also a new relationship to Diaz herself, exploring how anxiety-inducing — if not downright humiliating — falling in love can be.
 
Joining Diaz (vocals, guitar, bass, piano) on “Everything Almost” are the album’s co-producers alongside Diaz, Sam Cohen (drum machine) and Konrad Snyder (drums, percussion), and The Walkmen’s Matt Barrick (drums, percussion). “Everything Almost” follows the previously released singles, “Same Risk” and the duet with Kacey Musgraves, “Don’t Do Me No Good.”

“[Diaz] and Musgraves have inseparable chemistry together—their voices combining to commiserate into a stirring, emotional ballad.” — Paste on “Don’t Do Me Good”
