Brother Bird, the project of Nashville singer-songwriter Caroline Glaser, today has announced her new album The Lodge In Miller County, due out September 25th via Easy Does It Records. The announcement arrives alongside new single "Pariah," which is accompanied by a Stephen P-directed video. She recently wrapped up a tour opening for Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra), which included dates at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music (5/29 + 5/30), NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge (6/7), and more. The new album was co-produced by Glaser, Andy Hull, Jamie Martens, and Owen Lewis. "Pariah" follows previous single "Chameleon" which earned praise and support from Atwood Magazine, UpToHear, and more. 

"There’s a subtle nod to compliance/people-pleasing in the verses, but the choruses are strong and defiant," Glaser explains. "I spent most of my adult life in groups I felt unknown and unwelcome in. You know it in your body, but it takes a while for your brain to catch up. 'Pariah' is an embracement of that feeling, but a refusal to conform. There’s a confidence in this character that gets more and more apparent as the song plays. It’s this shift from acknowledging the pain to acknowledging their desires. Like the kid who isn’t welcome at the 'popular' table, but then realizes the popular table actually totally sucks. And always has! A triumphant little anthem for the inner-alien."

Glaser’s songwriting lives in tight, intimate spaces, full of the embarrassments and small indignities that come with being human. An early brush with televised stardom shaped her ambitions in music. It made her certain she didn’t want to be a product, and led her to the realization that actually making music is what she cares about. She gave herself the role of captain of the ship, working closely with friends and mentors Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra on her first LP, Gardens, before co-producing and writing her 2024 Easy Does It Records debut, Another Year, with producer Owen Lewis.

Beyond Brother Bird, Glaser has stayed busy. Last year she announced Funambulist, a new band with longtime friend and collaborator Kevin Devine, formed after months on the road together. She opened for and accompanied Devine on the Make the Clocks Worse tour (the joint anniversary run for KD’s Make the Clocks Move and New Amsterdam’s Worse for the Wear), along with a handful of solo shows and Bad Books dates. She has since been invited to sing on Bad Books 2 (Revisited) alongside longtime collaborators and pals Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, and has been quietly writing with Hull on a separate project for the past few years, with more to share soon.

"Pariah" is out today via Easy Does It Records.

Brother Bird - "Pariah"
Brother Bird - Bio:

Brother Bird is the project of Caroline Glaser, whose work blends intimate, confessional lyricism with atmospheric indie textures. Drawing influence from artists like Mazzy Star, Big Thief, and The Cranberries, her music sits in a space that is both soft and unflinching, often centering on themes of imposter syndrome, dissatisfaction, and the complexity of being human.

A Lodge In Miller County was produced by Glaser alongside Jamie Martens, Owen Lewis, and Andy Hull, continuing a collaborative thread that has helped shape her evolving sound while maintaining the emotional clarity at the center of her work.

Across releases including her self-titled EP, Gardens, and Easy Does It Records debut Another year, Glaser has built a catalog defined by vulnerability, specificity, and a distinct sense of voice.

Brother Bird will be direct (and only) support for Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra's Spring/Summer 2026 Tour.
