releasing music as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/skirts.bandcamp.com\/album\/great-big-wild-oak\">Skirts<\/a> since 2017, finding her sound while building up a following in indie scenes around Texas. Her early releases, right through the 2018 EP <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/skirts.bandcamp.com\/album\/almost-touching\">Almost Touching<\/a>, all fell into what\u2019s broadly described as \u201cbedroom pop,\u201d and while that\u2019s to some extent a function of the microphone she was using, there was also some truth behind the tag. Her melodies were sweet and simple, and whether she was using a synth or an acoustic guitar she\u2019d still leave enough space in the mix to invite the listener in.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s retained that sensibility on her debut album, <i>Great Big Wild Oak<\/i>, due out July 30 on Double Double Whammy, but the world that Montenegro built around herself has changed. These songs surprise in subtle ways, with xylophone, pedal steel, banjo, and clarinet emerging at unlikely moments. Her voice is clearer too, further forward in the mix, allowing her to guide a song without trying to overpower it. For all of the textures and colors and gentle left turns on <i>Great Big Wild Oak<\/i>, there\u2019s still a beautiful lucidity to Montenegro\u2019s ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The latest single from the album is \u201cAlways,\u201d premiering below with a video directed by Montenegro herself. It\u2019s one of the more straightforward songs on the album in terms of instrumentation, but Montenegro harmonizes with herself and layers guitars over each other when the space calls for it. Even without the woodwind and twang, it\u2019s a perfect example of Montenegro\u2019s ability to craft a new environment without overwhelming the great idea at its core. \u201c\u2018Always\u2019 is the first song I wrote for the album,\u201d Montenegro wrote in an email to The FADER. \u201cIt went through many different versions\/lyrics\/structures until it got to the finish point. It reminds me of driving late at night through the city being stuck at a light and deep in thought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listen to \u201cAlways\u201d below. <i>Great Big Wild Oak<\/i> is out July 30 on Double Double Whammy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skirts - Always (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qn3b6hoQgKE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Alex Robert Ross<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
