Head of Roses by Flock of Dimes

Head of Roses, Jenn Wasner's second album as Flock of Dimes, came out on Sub Pop on April 2, 2021, and it's a breakup record written in lockdown. When the pandemic wiped out her 2020 touring, Wasner holed up at home in Durham, North Carolina, first making the Like So Much Desire EP, which Sub Pop surprise-released that June, and then turning to the wreckage of her two most recent relationships.

Most of the album poured out in a rush between March and April 2020, though a couple of songs are older: "2 Heads" dates back to 2015, and "Two" also came from outside that burst. It's an intimate, searching record, the sound of someone taking stock of what went wrong, five years on from If You See Me, Say Yes.
