Background

On August 19, 2025, Rousay announced A Little Death and released the lead single from the album, "Just", featuring ambient musician M. Sage. [4] She released the second single from the album, "Somewhat Burdensome", on September 16, 2025. [5] A Little Death is the third of a trilogy of albums by Rousay, the first two being A Heavenly Touch in 2020 and A Softer Focus in 2021. [4] The album is named for a wine bar in San Antonio called Little Death, where Rousay made the first recordings for the album in 2021. [6]

Composition

A Little Death is a departure from her 2024 album Sentiment, which was more pop-oriented. [6] The album is based on field recordings that Claire Rousay took at night. [1] Rousay called the album "a return to what I see as my core solo practice" and "a re-dedication to those methods of working which I've found most align with what I envision my music or sound to be." [7]
