Angel So Bad is the debut album by Canadian folk duo True Mountain Laurel, composed of singers and songwriters Haley Blais and Sam Lynch. It is scheduled for release on 28 August 2026, through Birthday Cake Records.
The album was preceded by the release of its title track, "Angel So Bad," in June 2026.
Background and recording
[edit]Angel So Bad was developed following the formation of True Mountain Laurel in 2026, after Blais and Lynch began collaborating during informal songwriting sessions. The duo initially exchanged voice memos and worked together between their respective solo projects, gradually shaping a body of material that became the album.[1]
The recording process emphasized a collaborative and unstructured approach, with the artists writing and recording in close partnership rather than following a traditional studio schedule.[2]
Composition and themes
[edit]Musically, Angel So Bad incorporates elements of indie folk and country, with an emphasis on acoustic instrumentation and vocal harmonies. The album draws on the duo's respective songwriting styles, combining Blais's lyrical approach with Lynch's introspective compositions.[3]
The title track, "Angel So Bad," has been described by the duo as reflecting on gossip and social interaction, examining both its negative perceptions and its role in human connection.[4]
Influences cited for the project include artists such as Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams.[5]
Release and promotion
[edit]The album was formally announced in June 2026, accompanied by the release of its lead single. It is scheduled for release on August 28, 2026, via Birthday Cake Records.[6][7]
