Today my new single "Jars" is out, the second song in my two-song release, Mirepoix/Jars. I started writing this song in September 2019 on a sunny afternoon lying in bed. I lived in Los Angeles at the time, in a little back cottage with old jalousie windows. I’d just bought a new guitar 4 days earlier, a 1971 Yamaha Red Label Nippon Gakki FG-110. For weeks I was lying around with that guitar deep in a Sam Phillips obsession, strumming cowboy chords and humming. On this particular day summer was turning over and as I played a C chord, the rest of the opening progression fell into place. It was a bittersweet time in life where I was letting go of so much of the past while simultaneously in the midst of such warm beginnings. This song expresses that transition.

After writing it that afternoon the song sat on the shelf for years. In early 2022 I dusted it off and took it to my friend and producer John Mark Nelson, along with "Mirepoix", to create this release.

Thank you for sharing in these special songs with me 🕯🫙

Today my new single 'Mirepoix' is out, featuring ‪@jennyowenyoungs‬. It's the first new music I've put out since my last record Nightstand (2018). I started writing 'Mirepoix' in 2019, one night while I was cooking dinner. I was cutting up vegetables when the song idea occurred to me, so I put down the knife and ran out of the room to find a guitar and ended up writing most of it in that one sitting (dinner was not ready on time).

Later on in 2020, I decided to finally finish the song, with some help from Jenny. We tracked it all at home and Jenny added some very cool production to the instrumental break. Finally, I sent the song to ‪@itsjohnmarknelson‬ to produce, mix, and master it. In 2022, after three years, 'Mirepoix (Ft. Jenny Owen Youngs)' is finally ready for listening.
