Brother Bird, the project of Nashville singer-songwriter Caroline Glaser, today has shared her hazy, tranquil new single “Chameleon”. Co-produced by Glaser, Jamie Martens, Owen Lewis, and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull, the release arrives alongside a video directed by Glaser herself, as well as the news that she will be supporting Hull on an upcoming U.S. tour, including dates at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music (5/29 + 5/30), NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge (6/7), and more. You can buy tickets HERE and a full itinerary is below.
“This was one of the first songs I wrote after finishing my sophomore record, ‘Another Year’,” Glaser explains. “It kind of set the tone for this new chapter of Brother Bird, both lyrically and melodically. I started coming up with little characters each day as a writing exercise, then making up songs from their perspective. It always ended up being a good mix of fact and fiction…it kind of allowed me to say the ugly thing without fully claiming it as my own. It’s been the most cathartic couple years of songwriting I’ve ever experienced. It really pulled me out of the mud, I hope people find solace in it! I hope the shapeshifters/people-pleasers/chameleons feel seen and empowered to conform a little less.”
“Chameleon” follows the release of her 2024 LP Another Year, which earned praise and support from Paste Magazine, KEXP, Northern Transmissions, Atwood Magazine, Austin Town Hall, and more. The track has been a staple of her live set for years, road-tested and refined across countless shows before finally making its way to a proper studio recording.
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.
“I think it’s hilarious to put that much effort into an album with a common theme of wishing that I could do anything else. But this, unfortunately, feels like what I’m supposed to do and what I’m here to do,” Caroline says.
"Chameleon" 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.
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.
