Jensen McRae with Lauren Juzang
Folk's modern muse Jensen McRae has revealed the release date for her highly anticipated sophomore album, I Don't Know How But They Found Me!, scheduled to drop on April 25 via Dead Oceans.
Set against the backdrop of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the complexities of love, I Don't Know How But They Found Me! is a bold evolution for the young artist. The eleven-track album, recorded in North Carolina with Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver) and featuring contributions from Nathan Stocker (Hippo Campus), Matthew McCaughan (Bon Iver), and her brother Holden McRae, is a vibrant collection of songs anchored by razor-sharp lyrics and timeless pop melodies.
McRae's voice is as versatile as her songwriting--wispy and textured at times, clear and bright at others. It's a voice that embodies both the heartbreak of being left and the strength of doing the leaving. The album's title, inspired by a line from Back to the Future, reflects McRae's resilience: "I could've easily collapsed beneath the weight of what happened to me, but I didn't. I was bulletproof the whole time."
Jensen McRae released her debut album, Are You Happy Now?, in 2022, featuring viral singles like "Immune" and "Wolves," has earned widespread acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vulture, UPROXX, NY Post, Billboard, and Stereogum. She's been spotlighted in PAPER, DORK and Wonderland Magazine, with the latter declaring, "The future is just beginning for Jensen McRae." Of her most recent work with "Massachusetts," NYLON praised her candid storytelling: "Listening to Jensen McRae almost feels too personal, as if every lyric was not just a line in a song, but an unraveling of her innermost thoughts."
Inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman, McRae's voice--both literal and lyrical--resonates deeply, personifying the human experience with rare vulnerability and grace. With a sound that blends introspection and artistry, she's an artist who's here to stay.
