Eve Adams’s new single, ‘Couldn’t Tell The Time,’ offers a bright glimpse into her forthcoming album, American Dust, which we shared news of earlier this month and is due out August 22nd, 2025, on Basin Rock. This ten-song desert requiem is a profound exploration of solitude, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the American Dream. Rooted in traditional storytelling, Couldn’t Tell The Time captures a playful, shuffling train-like rhythm, subtly bolstered by Oliver Hamilton’s delightful violin. Adams describes it as “a little song about the magic hour of life when you’re not quite sure if you’re young or old, if you’re late or right on time—and honestly, there’s no tellin’ at all.”
This single perfectly encapsulates the album’s overarching theme: an ode to the American Southwest, where vast desert landscapes hold tales both stark and tender. American Dust promises bittersweet poetry for lives lived in solitude and an eulogy for the American dream, all set against a backdrop of swirling dust and timeless plains.
