I Don't Know How But They Found Me... Again! (Deluxe) is the deluxe version of JensenMcRae's critically acclaimed 2025 album I Don't Know How But They Found Me! ("The stunningsecond album from young singer-songwriter McRae marks the arrival of a major talent." -Esquire), outJuly 24 digitally and September 18 on vinyl via Dead Oceans.Alongside the original album's tracklist, the Deluxe release features twelve new songs widely availablefor the first time: stripped-back versions of songs written before the recording of I Don't Know HowBut They Found Me! Had finished, live favourites heard on McRae's recent headline tours and festivalsappearances, a new version of "Mother Wound" featuring Maisie Peters as well as new trackselsewhere featuring contributions from Brandi Carlile and Brittany Spencer.On the new tracks, McRae explains: "There were so many songs I wrote after writing but before wefinished recording the second album that still felt like they lived in this world-very much coming toterms with the reality that no one was going to save me from myself, and that healing is something Iwould ultimately have to do on my own. I think the sparseness aptly reflects the solitude that isrequired of that kind of healing-although there are of course a couple songs that required a team toput together and feel right."From the very beginning, fans have fallen in love with Jensen McRae for the sharp, evocative andclear-eyed songwriting. "The most profound choices of my life often felt like things I did before I wasready to do, and I had to grow into them," says McRae. Her songs have a way of giving shape to theseleaps, cliff jumps and trust falls, and on her 2025 album, I Don't Know How But They Found Me!,Jensen McRae went further than ever, evolving from a promising young artist to a fully grownsongwriter and star.An avid journaler, McRae has been breathlessly documenting her existence since she was 18. Her firstalbum, Are You Happy Now?, was a mission statement for the artist who grew up an automaticoutsider: a Black Jewish girl from Los Angeles, hellbent on making folk music in spite of the world'sattempts to box her into other, more stereotypically Black genres. McRae looked to her songwritingheroes (Alicia Keys, Carole King, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder) to build a sonic world all her own. As heraudience grew and with myriad doors began unlocking, it "became the record of my coming-of-age.But it was a quiet coming-of-age, one that mostly took place inside my own head."Next, I Don't Know How But They Found Me! #took place against the backdrop of romantic turbulenceand McRae's rapidly growing audience. "I had never been in love before," McRae said. "Not really. Andthen I had two life-altering relationships back to back in my early twenties. This album was primarilyan exploration about how love and intimacy knock the wind out of you, can take your legs out fromunder you." She has also had multiple viral moments, including in the run up to writing I Don't KnowHow But They Found Me!, when McRae posted a solo verse and chorus online, little more than a pieceof a demo, and it took off. Covers, duets, and an avalanche of new fans followed (including the likes ofJustin Bieber, Stormzy, and Dan Nigro to name a few); the song was the beginning of "Massachusetts",which would become her first Dead Oceans release.McRae ventured to North Carolina to record I Don't Know How But They Found Me! #with Brad Cook(Waxahatchee, Suki Waterhouse, Bon Iver), also enlisting the help of Hippo Campus's Nathan Stockeron guitar, Bon Iver's Matthew McCaughan on drums, and her younger brother, Holden McRae, onkeys. "It felt like summer camp. None of us wanted to leave," McRae said. "It was such a joyous tendays of pure creative expression." In the process, I Don't Know How But They Found Me! #found it'sfooting-a vibrating, urgent collection of songs moored by razor-sharp lyrical specificity and timelesspop melodies.
