Total Wife – make it last
Nashville experimental duo Total Wife, the project of Luna Kupper and Ash Richter, are excited to share “make it last” as the latest single from their upcoming record Come Back Down, out August 6, 2025 via the tastemaking Philadelphia label Julia’s War Recordings.
On “make it last,” layered guitars and simmering vocals bolster the poignant lyrics of longing for the present moment to last into immortality.
“‘make it last’ started as kind of a horny song,” vocalist and lyricist Ash Richter explains. “I was experimenting with lyric writing that felt a little less serious or sappy, but the more I worked through it, the more it kind of ended up as a love song to the road, or like an ode to time passing veiled by the excitement of living. When overwhelming euphoria removes you from your surroundings and sense of time.”
Total Wife has become a fixture of the East Coast DIY scene over the past decade, cementing themselves as scenemakers in Nashville, TN. Today’s release comes after last month’s “second spring,” building upon their varied and rich discography. Come Back Down was previewed late last year with the band’s 0 EP, featuring heavy-hitting tracks “naoisa” and “(dead b).”
Total Wife will be touring the new record across the East Coast, with more dates to be announced soon. Later this month, they’ll play New York’s Night Club 101 with make yourself at home, bloodsports, and Glaring Orchid. In October, they’ll be supporting Los Angeles band Dummy at Nashville’s The Blue Room
