Bria takes on covers of songs by legendary country singer Loretta Lynn, Gillian Welch, Paula Cole, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Robert Lester Folsom, and Glenn Campbell. Cuntry Covers Vol. 2 lands February 24th on Sub Pop.

Bria has also shared a video for her new cover version of Paula Cole’s ‘Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?’. Directed by Lunakhods, the vid features clips of Bria and the crew getting ready for a photoshoot as well as the in-between times of them doing random things like painting fingernails and eating.

Touching on Cuntry Covers Vol. 2, Bria said:

“Physical space and environment have greatly informed each iteration of Cuntry Covers. With Vol. 1 we had acres of beautiful farmland in summer to explore. With Vol. 2 we had a small apartment in Toronto during the dark winter months that created a kind of claustrophobic creative energy.”
