Lala Lala (aka Lillie West) has announced a new album, I Want the Door to Open, and shared a new song from it, “DIVER,” via a video. I Want the Door to Open features Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie on one song and is due out October 8 via Hardly Art. Check out the “DIVER” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as Lala Lala’s upcoming tour dates.

Lala Lala’s last LP was 2018’s The Lamb—which was our Album of the Week. West co-produced the new album with Yoni Wolf of WHY?. Drummer Nnamdi Ogbonnaya plays on “DIVER” and West co-directed the song’s video with Brielle Brilliant. As well as Gibbard and Ogbonnaya, I Want the Door to Open also features contributions from poet Kara Jackson, OHMME, Adam Schatz of Landlady, Sen Morimoto, Christian Lee Hutson, Kaina Castillo, Meg Duffy (of Hand Habbits), Will Miller, Gia Margaret, and Josiah Wolf.
