Dua Saleh has announced a new album, Of Earth & Wires, out May 15 on Ghostly International, The Sudanese-American artist also shared two new songs from the record, both featuring Bon Iver. 

“We were all writing together, following instinct,” Saleh said in a press statement. “[Bon Iver]’s enthusiasm, emotional honesty, and melodic intuition made everything feel effortless. What stayed with me most was how he continued to show up afterward, excited by the demos, retracking vocals, and helping shape arrangements as the songs evolved.” -Pitchfork
