Kinneret – Field Guide
Kinneret, the force behind the 2019 viral hit single “No Wind Resistance!” (with over 200 million global streams across DSPs), today announced her new full-length Field Guide will be released on October 24th, 2025.
She also shared the album’s swirling lead single “There You Go Again” alongside a video directed by Matthew Takes, Isabella Mendoza, and Kinneret herself. “
‘There You Go Again’ is about inspiration, and how fleeting it feels,” explains Kinneret. “I wrote the song from inspiration’s perspective, imagining it as a person teasing me like, ‘I’ve been here the whole time! You’re the one pushing me away!’”. The danceable earworm follows recent album tracks “Every Breath,” produced by Torna (Daisy the Great, Del Water Gap), and “Solar Kiss,” co-written and produced by Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira, Japanese Breakfast).
Field Guide sees Kinneret arriving as a self-assured artist – further refining her left-of-center sound alongside producers Elbrecht, Jessica Winter (Jazmin Bean), Lokoy (Girl in Red) and Alice Ivy.
Already known for her shimmering yet philosophical music, on Field Guide, Kinneret upped the ante, writing pop songs that are more full-bodied and energetic than ever before, while also pushing her intellectual pursuits in new directions. When she began working on the project, she had just gone through two seemingly contradictory life changes: getting really into bird watching and also moving to New York City from Los Angeles. The music she wrote during this time merges the fluorescent energy of city life with the introspective imagery of a keen nature observer, resulting in songs that are as sonically engrossing as they are lyrically rich. Channeling this duality into Field Guide, Kinneret built a universe that listeners can escape into: one predicated on adventure, interconnectedness, and a sense of urgency that comes from understanding that your world is finite and fleeting. She pulls from a deep familiarity with and wonderment towards the idioms of nature–the connection between all the animals and plants in an ecosystem, the way seasons mark the passing of time, the deep awe a sunset can inspire. At its heart, Field Guide is a map to the magical, organic, and quirky world of Kinneret.
Birding—a pivotal influence on Field Guide—taught Kinneret how to live in the moment. “Birds live in the wild for maybe two years,” she says. “They look for food and build nests and have kids. They just follow their instincts. I crave that so much in my life. Birding reminds me that I’m an animal—It just totally gets me out of my head.” But, as free-flowing and kinetic as these songs are, they’re also the result of focused work and effort. Before starting Field Guide, Kinneret attended three separate writing camps: one focused on spirituality, one on technique, and one on collaboration. It can be heard in the precision and intentionality of her arrangements, how she can use the call and response of her vocals to mirror the sample of a robin’s birdsong she wove into the production.
Kinneret also wrote the songs with the intent of performing them live; as a result, they’re danceable and propulsive, driven by four on the floor beats and synth blips that zip like lasers. “I wanted to fill more space on this record,” she says. “It’s very maximalist when it comes to the vocals, harmonies, and ad libs.” Indeed, her vocals are more jubilant and versatile: her words cascade and stretch, pummel and punch, then flutter like a hummingbird’s wings. Kinneret boosted the sonics while delving even deeper into her psyche, fine-tuning her ability to express conflicting emotions at once, whether she was feeling playful or introspective, omnipotent or scared, inspired or bored. (Kinneret is also the mastermind of the fantastical visual world that accompanies Field Guide, and she worked with her grandfather on parts of it: his handmade cardboard sculptures of birds populate the verdant, mystical forest backdrop in which she is photographed for the album cover.)
Ultimately, the entire process found Kinneret honoring her dualities: allowing herself to be extroverted and introspective, searching and content, surrounded by nature and dazzled by city lights. She presents it all with the confidence of an artist who has really come into herself, knows what she wants, and encourages others to join her.
Kinneret, who has previously toured with Princess Chelsea, will perform next on select fall headlining tour dates that include Brooklyn, NY’s Sultan Room on October 11th, and Los Angeles, CA’s Moroccan Lounge on October 24th.
