Brother Bird — Landlord
Played: 2026-08-20 (TikTok)
The song comes from 'a big pile of songs I started in 2023' right after Glaser turned 29 — 'essentially starting over,' living between friends' guest rooms and her parents' basement in St. Louis. She estimates around 14 different versions of 'Landlord' exist — 'one of my worst cases of demo-itis.' Built from a looping arpeggiated synth part plus a 'clunky guitar part'; it was the first song from the album she took to other musicians, and hearing real drums in a Nashville demo 'kind of turned the ''I'm making these into album'' switch on.' Third single from The Lodge In Miller County (out 25 September via Easy Does It Records), co-produced by Glaser with Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra; she then supports Manchester Orchestra on their September tour.
TikTok angle: Songcraft story: roughly fourteen demo versions of 'Landlord' before it was finished — a 'how a song gets built' angle, tied to Andy Hull co-production and the September Manchester Orchestra support tour.
