Aubrie Sellers – Little Rooms
Today, Nashville-based “garage country” artist Aubrie Sellers released the carnival-esque honky-tonk single “Little Rooms,” from her forthcoming studio album Attachment Theory, due out March 20 via Casual Records | Carnival Records.
A new episode of the album’s accompanying podcast, Attachment Theory: The Podcast, is also out now. “Subatomic” explores how to communicate supportively, without criticism or passive negativity.
With Sellers’ classic yet edgy country vocals and a playfully dark melody, “Little Rooms” captures the chaos of exploring the deepest parts of a person’s mind through a deliciously warped slice of alt-country.
Of “Little Rooms,” Aubrie Sellers shares, “This song is about discovering all the compartments—or little rooms—in someone’s mind. As you get deeper into their trauma and dark spots, you sometimes realize their hidden parts aren’t going to be compatible with you, especially if they can’t face them. Musically, we wanted some mayhem, but also that sense of presence where you feel like you’re right there going through the experience yourself.”
Seller’s third studio album, Attachment Theory (out March 20), is arguably her best yet. Darker, edgier, and full of hard-won wisdom from bracing through the hellscape of modern dating. Every day, there’s a new article about the demise of American Romance… you’d be better served just listening to this raw, real reflection of dealing with avoidant men fleeing from intimacy, delusional expectations getting dashed, and breaking cycles of inherited emotional responses.
Says Sellers, “This record was born out of heartbreak, with the theme of attachment theory running through it in different ways. I’ve always been fascinated by psychology, especially people’s personalities and quirks and how they function in relationships.” She continues, “Sonically, this record leans even more into rock than my past albums, but it has a darker, slower cadence. Less outright slashers and more intense rock slow-burners. I’m drawn to sci-fi, horror, and cinematic themes, and you hear that all over this record with the synths, strings, and haunting guitars. Ethan Ballinger, who co-produced and played guitar, and Jeremy Ferguson, our engineer, share those sensibilities with me.”
To be released in tandem with the album is Attachment Theory: The Podcast, where each episode feels like a deep, honest conversation with a friend. Sellers invites listeners into her world, sharing insights and perspectives that aim not only to illuminate the themes within the album but also offer practical advice and wisdom for navigating their own relationships and personal growth. Through candid storytelling and heartfelt explorations, listeners can gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact that relationships have on our lives. At the end of each episode, listeners can hear the song that inspired the subject. New episodes are released every two weeks.
Sellers has also announced a special Grand Ole Opry performance on March 14, before her headline tour with Jade Jackson kicks off on April 16, and stops in Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, and other cities. Tickets are on sale now – see full dates below and see here for more information.
