Following Old Flowers‘ 2020 Grammy nomination, and due to Covid restrictions, Courtney, for the first time in her young nomadic life, was forced off the road and to remain at home. What resulted was the publishing of her first book of poetry, the first gallery showings of her paintings, and a period of self-discovery leading to the new album, Loose Future. Whereas Old Flowers was a beautiful and emotional break-up record, CMA’s return with Loose Future is a bright, dynamic, falling-in-love record. Courtney’s got a new story to tell, backed by a strong new musical direction, and a show-stopping collection of songs.

Loose Future was recorded at Sam Owen’s upstate New York Flying Cloud Studios, with musicians Josh Kaufman (Bonny Lighthorseman), Chris Bear (Grizzly Bear), and Sam Owens (Sam Evian)
