Saddle Creek veteran, Maria Taylor, has released an album teaser video for her upcoming album, Something About Knowing, which is available now. While Maria has already gained widespread recognition as one-half of the dream-pop duo Azure Ray, released four solo albums and an EP and collaborated with esteemed musicians including Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Jim Eno (Spoon) and Moby, her prolific career has only scratched the surface of what the Alabama-based artist has to say.

I think the feeling is the same, but the house around the feeling looks a little different.

You would create a lot of your music while your new son was taking naps. Did you ever find yourself mistakenly writing kid's music?

Is this a trick question? i'll say, " no" and then you'll be laughing saying, " that's not what we think;)"
