The announcement arrives alongside the vibrant, fuzzy lead single "Prepared To Lose," which is accompanied by an Evan Murray-directed video. The track finds Ok Cowgirl sharpening the emotionally direct songwriting and textured arrangements that have become their signature, providing a window into the vast, self-assured world of their new LP. "This is is a song I wrote about dealing with hardship," vocalist Leah Lavigne explains. "It’s a reminder that everyone has bad luck here and there. 'I’m prepared to lose' seems more pessimistic than my typical tone—and it almost felt uncomfortable to sing at first—but it just didn’t feel right to change it. After some time I grew to find it empowering. It’s about facing and accepting the unpredictable nature of the world, and how that acceptance makes room for a deeper sense of gratitude for the people we love and our small daily victories. So much of life is outside your control, sometimes all you can do is grit your teeth and “get through to another day.” The band has also announced three live shows in New York: May 8th at Nightclub 101, July 7th at Union Pool, and their record release show, August 22nd at Baby's All Right. "Prepared To Lose" follows the release of their debut LP Couldn't Save Us From My Gut, also produced by Farrar, which earned praise and support from The Line of Best Fit (feature), FLOOD (premiere), Dork Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, MXDWN (review), Atwood Magazine (feature), Glide Magazine, and more. "Prepared To Lose" is out today via Easy Does It Records.   Ok Cowgirl - Live Dates: 5/8 - New York, NY - Nightclub 101 NYC  7/17 - Brooklyn, NY - Union Pool 8/22 - Brooklyn, NY - Baby’s All Right (LP Release show) Ok Cowgirl - "Prepared To Lose" Rhinestone Cowgirl - TRACKLISTING 1.

Suspended Disbelief Ok Cowgirl - Bio: With Rhinestone Cowgirl (August 2026), Ok Cowgirl, the Brooklyn-based project led by songwriter Leah Lavigne, steps into its fullest form yet. The sophomore LP follows 2024's debut Couldn't Save Us From My Gut, and where that record traced the fault lines of self-trust and romantic unraveling, Rhinestone Cowgirl widens the lens. It's a bigger, brighter, more self-assured record, one that trades the debut's inward spiral for something closer to catharsis, building on the band's signature balance of emotionally direct songwriting and expansive, textured arrangements. Produced once again by Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Indigo De Souza, Wednesday), Rhinestone Cowgirl deepens the creative partnership that shaped the band's debut while pushing the sound into new territory. Farrar's production gives the album a sense of scale without sacrificing intimacy, letting Lavigne's writing stretch between quiet confession and full-throated release. The result is a record that feels both lived-in and cinematic, with songs that hold their nerve at the edges and break open in the choruses. The path to Rhinestone Cowgirl has been paved with momentum. Couldn't Save Us From My Gut drew early support from FLOOD, Brooklyn Vegan, and The Line of Best Fit, with playlisting across Spotify Fresh Finds and TIDAL Rising. Ok Cowgirl was named to Spotify's Fresh Finds Class of 2024 and emerged as a standout at SXSW 2024, and the band has continued to build its audience through a run of singles, including 2026's slow-burning "It Wasn't You, It Was the Feeling," that hinted at the wider ambitions now realized on the new LP. If the debut was about what gets lost, Rhinestone Cowgirl is about what gets carried forward. It's an album about identity, endurance, and the strange grace of showing up as yourself anyway, rhinestones and all.
