Anaïs Mitchell (album)

The album features musical contributions from Michael Lewis, JT Bates, Thomas Bartlett, Aaron Dessner and Nico Muhly.

It is an indie folk song "about looking back on years of restless pursuit and making peace with the source of that longing: the Muse, the Great Unknown, the One That Got Away – those things that motivate us that we never can touch.

Dedicated to the late Felix McTeigue, Mitchell said of him "We briefly had the same manager in our early 'hustling days' of trying to get a songwriter career going.

I can picture us playing at the old Living Room on the lower east side, and me being one of five people in Felix's audience, and vice versa.

"[16] Mitchell will tour the album across the United States and Europe in 2022, with her band Bonny Light Horseman joining her for some American dates.
