The Returner, Allison Russell's second album, arrived on Fantasy on September 8, 2023, following her award-winning debut Outside Child. The Canadian singer, poet and multi-instrumentalist, a veteran of Po' Girl, Birds of Chicago and Our Native Daughters, produced it with Dan Knobler and Dim Star, the team of JT Nero and Drew Lindsay.
This one is built to move: Russell has framed it as a celebration of simply still being here, of having come through the pandemic and everything else, together and free to dance. The title track, "Stay Right Here" and "Snakelife" went out ahead of it. It pulled four nominations at the 66th Grammys, Best Americana Album among them, and "Eve Was Black" won Best American Roots Performance, her first Grammy. It also made the shortlist for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.
