Squirrel Flower has released a new song called "Cleveland," the fourth taste of her upcoming album Say A Prayer To The Gods Of Getting Going. The Chicago indie singer-songwriter shared the track on August 18, 2026, according to Stereogum.
"Cleveland" follows three earlier singles from the same record: "Reelin," "Not Me," and "Sick Tooth." Stereogum writer Danielle Chelosky described the new song as a "sweeping, sun-drenched shredder," a shift from the quieter tracks Squirrel Flower has shared so far this year.
Squirrel Flower, the recording name of the Chicago-based songwriter, has built a following for wiry, wide-open indie rock that blends folk phrasing with distorted guitar. The rollout has been steady enough that Stereogum has taken to calling the run of singles "Squirrel Flower Summer," a nod to how much new material has arrived across just a few months.
That steady pace, four singles deep without a confirmed release date, has become the defining feature of the campaign itself: rather than a single big album reveal, Squirrel Flower Summer has played out as a season-long drip of new songs.
A release date for Say A Prayer To The Gods Of Getting Going has not been announced yet, though four singles into the campaign, the album looks close. Fans can track upcoming indie releases on the release calendar as more details arrive.
