about

Toronto’s Alexandra Babiak announces her forthcoming
sophomore album Magical Thinking with the release of her new
single “Settle Down”, out July 29, 2022.

Following up her 2019 album Impatiens, Babiak leans into indie-
rock sensibilities on her latest - sitting somewhere between the

likes of Alvvays and Arcade Fire sonically. Featuring watery
guitars, quirky drum beats, and lo-fi synth, Babiak leads "Settle
Down" with her equally sweet and yearning vocals - “I’ve got
something to cry about But I’m not gonna cry today / It won’t be
long 'til you’re coming home to me” Babiak laments, with a touch
of tongue in cheek. Babiak explains:
“This song explores reaching for a level of peace and stability but
still having the demons that taunt you. It’s this internal agitation
that won’t evaporate, even though maybe your surroundings are
calm. Being in that state of agitation or discomfort can be
necessary to move through to get to a place of mental freedom.”
Babiak teamed up with Toronto producer Sandro Perri and
recording engineer Chris Stringer to record the track, along with
Laura Pitkanen on guitar, Josh Cole on bass, Thomas Hammerton
on keys/synth, and additional synth by Sandro Perri.
