evermore is literally ”we were in screaming color, and i remember thinking ’are we out of the woods yet’ ” i can’t explain it

My dad watched this interview and said ‘Zane Lowe knows you maybe even better than you know yourself’. So while I spend years processing that possibility, here’s the video of our chat!

One of my favorite parts of directing music videos is the daydream/prep phase: writing up a treatment, a shot list, and working with an animator to storyboard it out ahead of time. Thanks to illustrator Vincent Lucido, we can check off our shots as we go. Here’s a video showing the before and after of the willow video 🧙🏻‍♀️🔮🎶

AAAAAAA

I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…
