Avalon Emerson & The Charm announces new album, shares “Jupiter and Mars”

"Jupiter and Mars" is taken from Avalon Emerson & The Charm's upcoming album, Written Into Changes, out March 20 via Dead Oceans.

Avalon Emerson’s pop-facing project Avalon Emerson & The Charm recently shared the single and video “Eden” and it turns out the track was a first taste of something bigger. “Eden” is taken from a newly announced album, Written Into Changes, which marks a new chapter for the multi-hyphenate musician and producer.

Built around the idea of not just accepting change but fully embracing it, the sophomore album of her pop alias draws from five years of constant movement, from international DJing to relocating between Berlin, Los Angeles, and New York (a theme that was already very present in the “Eden” video). It’s a personal, time-spanning project that reflects growth both on and off the road. After seeing how the first album translated from the studio to larger stages, Avalon leaned into dynamics and energy this time, shaping a body of work that’s band-driven, groove-forward, and made to live and breathe in performance.

Alongside the album news comes the new single “Jupiter and Mars,” written and produced with Rostam Batmanglij, who was a founding member of the band Vampire Weekend, and paired with a video directed by Ben Turok. Airy and bright, the song captures a feeling of connection and creative play. Avalon sums up the spirit of the sessions perfectly: “I loved chasing this song with Rostam almost as much as our two little dogs loved chasing each other around the studio.”
