Lydia Loveless has announced a new album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'Daughter' is called 'Nothing’s Gonna Stand in My Way Again' and will arrive on September 22 via Bloodshot.
Crafted while living in North Carolina with her then boyfriend, the record documents their break-up and the singer-songwriter's homecoming to Columbus, Ohio.
Alongside the news, Loveless has unveiled the LP's lead single, Toothache, a personal, emotive alt-country track with gritty guitar work. Loveless said:
"[It was] inspired by a literal toothache and knowing there were way too many other things on my plate at the time to be concerned with my fucking tooth.
"The millions of little things that pile up when you’re broke and overwhelmed until you snap over the dumbest thing, like running out of dish soap...I struggled with whether or not I could write an anthem with the chorus just being ‘Now I’ve got a toothache!’ But I couldn’t get it out of my head. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut."

But I think the bleak frustration came across regardless. We shot from 10pm to around 3am at Secret Studios. We all just felt like lunatics by the end of everything which is what the song needed."
