Louisville's own Joan Shelley released the lead single to her forthcoming, self-titled LP, produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. Of "Wild Indifference," Shelley told NPR:

If I had my way, every song would eventually lead to empathy. Music can take you out of your head and into your body and heart, where there's more opportunity for empathy and a de-escalation of the dramas we make for ourselves. That's part of the path of this one. The song is addressed to another person but circles back inward.

Joan Shelley arrives May 5th via No Quarter Records.
