Jessica Pratt releases new album, Here in Pitts, this Friday through Mexican Summer. Now he's shared the album's third single, “The Last Year.” It is the track that closes the album. Listen below, followed by Pratt's upcoming tour dates.

Previously, Pratt shared the album's first single, “Life Is,” via a music video. “Life Is” was one of the songs of the week. He then shared the album's second single, “World on a String,” via a music video (it was also one of the songs of the week).

Here in Pitts is the continuation of 2019 Quiet signs. The Los Angeles-based musician recorded again at Gary's Electric Studio in Brooklyn. She collaborated with previous collaborators, multi-instrumentalist/engineer Al Carlson and keyboardist Matt McDermott. The sessions also featured bassist Spencer Zahn and percussionist Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace). Ryley Walker, Peter Mudge (Mac Miller, JID) and Alex Goldberg also contributed to the album.

“I became obsessed with figures that are emblematic of the dark side of the California dream while making this record,” Pratt said of Here in Pitts in a previous press release.

Pratt recorded the album over a three-year period, from 2020 to 2023. Of the five-year gap between the albums, she said, “I never wanted it to take this long. I'm just a real perfectionist. I was just trying to get the right feeling and it takes a long time to do that.”

The previous press release compared the album's first single and opening track, “Life Is,” to the Walker Brothers' 1960s instrumental pop classic “The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore,” but Pratt cautioned that it's not exactly representative of the album. a set, which is more intense.

“In a way, it's kind of a false flag,” Pratt admitted. “But I also feel like it's a statement of intent.”
