“It was fun building it up from scratch and then letting it all hang loose in the long free-pop/jazz outro,” Juliana Hatfield says of her newly unveiled single “Gorgon” in an official statement. “Recording at home, there’s no one stopping me from indulging in every wacky musical whim that pops into my head.”

The propulsive, percussive track packs an enveloping sonic punch as the second offering lifted from the prolific singer-songwriter-instrumentalist’s forthcoming nineteenth studio album Blood, due in stores May 14th via American Laundromat Records as the follow-up to 2019’s pair of releases Weird and Juliana Hatfield Sings The Police.

Listen to “Gorgon” below and revisit the album’s lead single “Mouthful of Blood” here. And be sure to mark your calendars for Hatfield’s special live stream performance from Q Division Studios on Saturday, May 8th at 4PM ET.
