Alicia Bognanno has announced a new Bully album Lucky For You, which will be out June 2 via Sub Pop. It was recorded with producer J.T. Daily in Nashville. “Authenticity is always on my mind, without even knowing it,” Bognanno says of working with Daily. “If I’m doing something that doesn’t feel natural or right, I’m quick to shut it down. So it was great to work with J.T. because I could tell he was a genuine fan who wanted to emphasize what he thinks is good about my writing instead of changing it. I could tell how much he cared about the project, and it meant a lot to me.”

The album includes Soccer Mommy collab “Lose You,” and the new single is “Days Move Slow.” Bognanno says, “As someone who has spent the majority of my life feeling agonizingly misunderstood, there is no greater gift than experiencing true unconditional love and acceptance. I waited my whole life for the bond and irreplaceable companionship I had with Mezzi. She was my best friend and my only constant through some of the most pivotal moments and phases of my life. I was a stranger to the level of love I now know exists because of Mezzi. Love you forever; I’m lucky for you.” The video for the song was directed by Alex Ross Perry (Pavement, Soccer Mommy) and you can watch it below.

Bully just wrapped up dates with The Breeders and will be on tour later this year with Pixies and Franz Ferdinand. New summer headline dates have also been announced, including NYC’s Racket on June 6. Tickets for new headline shows go on sale Friday, March 24 at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
