Casey Dienel, known as White Hinterland, will release My Heart is an Outlaw, their first album in eight years, on October 17 via Jealous Butcher. The album, produced by Adam Schatz and recorded in varied locations, features several guest artists. Dienel emphasizes themes of joy, particularly queer joy, as revolutionary and the importance of happiness amidst struggles. The lead single, "Your Girl's Upstairs," reflects on independence and complexity in relationships, revealing Dienel's multifaceted nature as both a romantic individual and a homebody.
Joy, especially queer joy, is revolutionary. Even in the face of everything else, I wanted to show that happiness is still possible - and necessary.
I'm not a domesticated creature. During lockdown, I was cruising the apps... independence has given me a sense of inner stability.
Ultimately, I hate living with people, but I like loving on them. These unreconciled contradictions inside duel it out, but none win.
