Jensen McRae – I Don’t Know How But They Found Me!

Modern folk artist Jensen McRae has announced the release date of her highly anticipated sophomore album "I Don't Know How But They Found Me!", which will be released via Dead Oceans. Along with the announcement, she has also released her latest single and video, "Praying For Your Downfall," a masterpiece of candor that combines wit and charm as McRae reflects on letting go of the urge to seek revenge on someone who broke her heart.

Set against a backdrop of heartbreak, self-discovery and the complexities of love, "I Don't Know How But They Found Me!" is a bold development for the young artist. Recorded in North Carolina with Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver) and featuring contributions from Nathan Stocker (Hippo Campus), Matthew McCaughan (Bon Iver) and her brother Holden McRae, the eleven-track album is a vibrant collection of songs carried by razor-sharp lyrics and timeless pop melodies. McRae's voice is as versatile as her songwriting - at times whispery and textured, at others clear and bright. It's a voice that embodies both the heartbreak of abandonment and the strength of abandonment.

From the beginning, fans have fallen in love with Jensen McRae for her perceptive, evocative and clear-eyed songs. Her songwriting is vulnerable, yes, but it's also strong because it doesn't hold back. "I Don't Know How But They Found Me!" shows McRae's evolution from a promising young artist to a bona fide songwriter and star. "The most profound decisions of my life," says McRae, "have often felt like things I did before I was ready and had to grow into."

"I Don't Know How But They Found Me!" is about what follows when you've resisted what you thought would destroy you. It's about learning your limits and what you're capable of. "I connected with the thought that I could have easily collapsed under the weight of what happened to me, but I didn't. I didn't even know it," she says, "but I was bulletproof the whole time."
