Squirrel Flower’s new album “Say a Prayer to the Gods of Getting Going” is a shimmering, road-worn ode to movement and roots, born from a relentless 2024–2025 tour but anchored in Chicago’s soul. Shedding the heavy distortion of her last record, Ella O’Connor Williams embraces a warmer, ethereal folk sound, crafted live with local legends like Clay Frankel and Sofia Jensen. Half the album was recorded in Door County, Wisconsin, during a songwriting retreat that forced her out of her solo comfort zone — even setting up a mobile studio for two weeks. Producer Alex Farrar helped her lean into silence and space, guiding her toward a minimalist, emotionally resonant sound. Inspired by Bob Dylan and shaped by fleeting moments — like a Kansas Turnpike toll bill — this is a deeply personal yet universally felt journey of finding your voice while always on the move.
