Claire Rousay: Sometimes I Feel Like I Have No Friends [self-released]

Texas experimentalist Claire Rousay has already released a handful of low-key records this year, including April’s A Softer Focus and a collaboration with real-life “bff” Mari Maurice, aka More Eaze, in An Afternoon Whine. Her latest, a single-track project called Sometimes I Feel Like I Have No Friends, again features Maurice, this time alongside a third member, Emily Harper Scott of Pale Spring. The 28-minute song mixes field recordings, strings, and drones with a monologue about the nature of friendship, codependency, and other tangential topics. Read more on Rousay in Pitchfork’s rundown of “The Best Jazz and Experimental Music of 2021.”
