Katie Pruitt Releases Fools for the Fleeting

Katie Pruitt released Fools for the Fleeting through Rounder Records on Friday. The album contains 10 tracks, with Nolan Taylor and Sierra Hull appearing as guests. Pruitt wrote or co-wrote every song on the record. Taylor contributes vocals to Blackout, while Hull plays mandolin on Orion’s Belt.

The Aftermath appears near the front of the album. The song begins as a breakup anthem before turning toward the political and social climate in the United States. Another track, Little Boxes, addresses a culture shaped by doomscrolling and screens. Pruitt argues that interaction between people in person can overcome the distance created by a digital lifestyle.

A headlining tour for Pruitt was planned to cover much of the fall across the country. Next of Kin, Olivia Barton and Judy Blank are among the artists providing support on the tour. Pruitt will conclude the tour in Music City with a show at Basement East on Dec. 2.
