Brother Bird, aka Caroline Glaser, today has shared her new single "Dirt," from her upcoming album The Lodge In Miller County, due out September 25th via Easy Does It Records. The track follows album singles "Pariah" and "Chameleon," which earned praise and support from The Big Takeover, Magnet Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and more. The new album was co-produced by Glaser, Andy Hull, Jamie Martens, and Owen Lewis.

Brother Bird 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.

"'Dirt' is a semi-autobiographical track," Glaser explains. "It's reflective and honest, but a little bitey and mean. It touches on generational dysfunction and traumas. An unfiltered internal dialogue between present and past self...it's an attempt at breaking certain cycles while acknowledging that some will never be fully broken. Everyone is 'in the dirt' together...'together, forever, no end'…we all have our shit, so to speak. We do get to decide which pile of mud we wanna hang out in, though. And thank god for that."

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.

 

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

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.

The 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.
