Black Belt Eagle Scout is the project of multi-instrumentalist Katherine Paul. Today, she's announced the follow-up to her debut album Mother of My Children. It's called At the Party With My Brown Friends, and it's due out in full August 30 via Saddle Creek. Ahead of that, Paul is sharing the first single, "At The Party," an undulating observance on the sanctity of friendship, especially amid chaos.
“Within my conscious self, there is always a sense of questioning the legitimacy of the world when you grow up on an Indian reservation," Paul wrote in a statement. "We are all at the party (the world), trying to navigate ourselves within a good or bad situation. I happen to be at the party with my brown friends- Indigenous, Black, POC who always have my back while we walk throughout this event called life.”
