Last year, Gina Birch — the bassist for the much-loved post-punk band the Raincoats — released her first-ever solo single, “Feminist Song.” Now Birch is announcing her debut solo album, I Play My Bass Loud, which will be out on Third Man Records in February.

“The album distills my years of musical, political, and artistic life with these genre-breaking songs,” Birch noted in a statement. “It’s a personal diary using sounds and lyrics, full of fun, rage, and storytelling.”

Today, she’s sharing new single “Wish I Was You,” which was co-written and co-produced by Youth and features guitar from Thurston Moore. Check out a video for the track below.
