Jensen McRae has announced that her sophomore album, I Don’t Know How but They Found Me!, is set to arrive on April 25 via Dead Oceans, with lead single “Praying for Your Downfall” arriving today. On the newly released track, McRae croons over layers of guitars—both electric and acoustic—before shuffling drums join in on the fun. “I don’t need to see you fall down,” she declares, a signal that she’s focusing her energy on more positive things. Earlier in the song, she sings: “I’m finished praying for your downfall.”
