Her self-released debut EP, early winter songs from middle america (2015), was written during her first year of living in Iowa, where the winter months make those of her hometown, Boston, seem quaint in comparison. Since that debut, Squirrel Flower has built a fanbase beyond Boston’s DIY scene, and released two more EPs and two full-length albums. The most recent, Planet (i), was loaded with climate anxiety, while the Planet EP that followed it marked a significant turning point in Williams’ prolific career. Before Tomorrow’s Fire, Squirrel Flower might have been labelled “indie folk,” but this is a rock record, made to be played loud. As if to signal this shift, the album opens with the soaring “i don’t use a trashcan,” a reimagining of the very first Squirrel Flower song ever. Tomorrow’s Fire might sound like the title of an apocalypse album, but it isn’t. Tomorrow’s Fire refers to the title of a novel Williams’ great-grandfather, Jay, wrote about a troubadour, named after a line by the medieval French poet Rutebeuf, himself a troubadour: “Tomorrow’s hopes provide my dinner\/Tomorrow’s fire must warm tonight.” Centuries later, this quote speaks to Williams, who describes fire as a tool to wield in the face of nihilism. Tomorrow’s fire is what comforts us, it’s what makes us feel good in the morning, the way we light up the path we walk on.","brand":"Squirrel Flower","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304224604504,"sku":null,"price":23838304.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5060626466906_81c1cd3f-0a36-4d96-85b7-04519dfd9dea.jpg?v=1765823032","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/squirrel-flower_tomorrows-fire_2023_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
