Skullcrusher, the moniker of singer-songwriter Helen Ballentine, has shared "Living", the latest and final glimpse of upcoming new LP And Your Song is Like a Circle, out October 17th on her new label Dirty Hit.

Listen to "Living" and watch a live performance video for the song below:

Ballentine on the song:

"One day I was wandering around Brooklyn and I felt like I was watching everything through a window or on a screen. I felt like everyone was moving so fluidly and certainly like moving through a piece of choreography. Living is about being a voyeur, catching a glimpse of brief moments of people’s lives. Like watching a play through a small peep hole, or through the slit of a curtain. I wonder if I am the same. If my life feels a part of this production or if it exists in a small detail somewhere off stage."

Before "Living", Skullcrusher released videos for "Exhale", "March" and "Dragon". Skullcrusher recorded And Your Song is Like a Circle at home and in friends’ studios, working alongside apob (Dora Jar, Deb Never) in Los Angeles and co-producer Isaac Eiger (The Dare, Frost Children, Cassandra Jenkins, Malice K) in New York.

"I like thinking about my work as a collection, and every time I add more to it, I’m adding a rock," Ballentine says. "Eventually it might form a circle. Each time I make something, I’m putting another line around the body of work. It feels like I’ll be trying to trace it for my whole life."
