Steady Holiday is back with a new record. Dre Babinski, the LA songwriter behind the project, has announced It's Your Trip, out later this fall. It's her first full-length since Newfound Oxygen, and the wait feels worth it already.
The new album pulls from something huge: becoming a parent. That brain-altering shift runs through the whole thing. Anyone who fell for the widescreen dream-pop of 2018's Nobody's Watching knows Babinski can turn big feelings into gorgeous, careful arrangements.
Since Newfound Oxygen she dropped last year's one-off single "Seasonal Optimism," a lovely little sleeper that kept the momentum warm. Now the lead track "New Generation" arrives, and it's a stunner: hushed one moment, soaring the next, the kind of moment she does so well.
Babinski has always written like someone paying close attention. This new era sounds like her most personal yet, shaped by sleepless nights and open eyes.
Mark the date. It's Your Trip is shaping up to be a gem.
