Cat Clyde – Another Time

Cat Clyde’s writing these days doesn’t happen in one place. She’ll pen songs in her ’73 Boler trailer parked on an Ontario farm, or aboard a narrow boat drifting through England, or somewhere between festivals in that half-awake state that comes with jetlag. “Another Time,” the lead single from her upcoming album “Mud Blood Bone,” carries that restless energy—it’s a song about the impossibility of staying still even when you want to.

The track opens with understated production from Drew Vandenberg, who’s worked with Faye Webster and Toro y Moi. Clyde’s voice sits right up front, straightforward and simple, while the arrangement builds around her with swaying patience.

“Mud Blood Bone” arrives March 13 via Concord Records—Clyde’s first release with the label and her fourth full-length overall. She recorded it with Vandenberg and co-wrote one track with Courtney Marie Andrews. The sound sits somewhere between Sierra Ferrell’s rockabilly bite and Big Thief’s folk rock intensity, leaning into both without settling into either.

Before these sessions, Clyde spent time reconnecting with her Métis heritage, looking at how nature moves in cycles—seasons, tides, growth, and decay. That thinking shaped how she approached writing about change. “Another Time” reflects on memory and transformation, on the fact that beautiful moments don’t last but also don’t disappear. She describes it as exploring “different timelines” and “different selves,” wrestling with how we’re constantly becoming someone new while carrying who we’ve been.

Clyde’s been doing this since childhood—she learned music listening to her grandfather’s fiddle through a vent in the floor during family gatherings in North Ontario. She picked up guitar at thirteen after discovering Lead Belly and Robert Johnson, whose blues riffs were too complex for her hands but inspired her to write her songs instead. She busked through her teens, played in a punk band called Shit Bats in college, and recorded her first album in a friend’s basement.

That history shows in her approach now. The new songs feel lived-in, written by someone who’s always been moving, always writing, always figuring things out in real time. She hits the road in March for an extensive North American tour, with Boy Golden supporting on most dates.
