Indie Folk Artist Eleanor Buckland Details Upcoming Solo Album; Shares Latest Single “Static”

Since 2014, Eleanor Buckland has been one-third of Boston-based indie folk rock trio Lula Wiles, and for much of this time Buckland was working on her own album, You Don’t Have To Know, due on October 29. While the songs initially served as an outlet for Buckland to write freely and for herself, the idea to record came from Lula Wiles producer Adam Iredale-Gray, a friend from Berklee College of Music. The Juno-nominated producer/multi-instrumentalist helped Buckland record three tracks before realizing she was settling into a full-length.

The first song they recorded, “Don’t Look Down,” wound up being the album’s first track too. Reflecting the dark time Buckland was experiencing when she wrote it while also holding glimmers of hope, the song was her clear choice to lead off You Don’t Have To Know. “We built the rest of the album upon this musical foundation,” she reveals. “I think of that song as both a question and the thesis statement for the record.” 

With that in mind, her latest single “Static” dives into the darkness and noise of anxiety, countering it with a charming and engaging folk rock song. Written from the perspective of a teenager, the song is a fighting song, as both the instrumentation and narrative open up into a more captivating and inspiring climax.
