Saintseneca announce first album in 7 years, share “Infinity Leaf Clover”

Zac Little’s long-running Ohio indie folk project Saintseneca has signed to Lame-O Records (which is also currently home to Zac’s longtime collaborator Steve Ciolek of The Sidekicks’ solo project superviolet) and announced Highwalllow & Supermoon Songs, their first album in over 7 years, due out on October 31 via their new label home. It’s the follow-up to 2018’s Pillar of Na (which was their fourth for ANTI-), and they worked on it with regular collaborator Glenn Davis and Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis (who also produced Pillar of Na). “I found that I circled back to the country music that I grew up listening to and always wanted to run from, but then I just wanted to hear it,” bandleader Zac Little says of the 21-song album. “The voice of George Jones, raw and razor sharp with emotion, the alchemical perfection of Hank Williams’ songwriting, Dolly Parton’s crushing melodies. They seemed to effortlessly cut through the air, floating in the atmosphere like perfume even after the songs stopped.” See the cover art and tracklist below.

The first single is “Infinity Leaf Clover,” which you can hear below. “I was under a heavy cloud when I found the perfect 4 leaf clover,” Zac says. “I’d searched my entire life, mulling over patches of grass. My efforts always fruitless. One dark afternoon, I looked down. At my feet, four bright green hearts intricately formed, kissing at the points in a clover – twin infinities. I felt it was a love poem placed there just for me. The language of plant matter twisted with a flourish. I felt better. I laid in my backyard and the shadow of a tree passed over a fence post. An improvised sundial. Looking down at my timepiece – 5 o’ clock. Hah, the 5 o’ clock shadow! And just as I noticed, the moment slipped away, the shadow passed – on to where moments go, I suppose. Now it’s 5 o’ clock somewhere else…”
