about

Squirrel Flower's cover of Liz Phair's "Explain It To Me" from her 1993 debut, 'Exile in Guyville' serves as the A-side, backed with a new Squirrel Flower original.

“‘Explain It To Me’ has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it when I was 14. I made this recording in my basement while experimenting with self harmonizing for the first time in a while. "Chicago" is a rework of an old song I originally released in 2018. It's from a studio session a while ago and it never got used, so my brother and I put some extra guitar on it during quarantine and voila. I originally wrote it in 2015 when I lived in the Midwest. Put it on when you're lost/moving/found.” - Ella Williams (Squirrel Flower)
