TOTAL WIFE UNVEIL FINAL SINGLE “PEACHES” AHEAD OF NEW ALBUM
Nashville experimental-pop duo Total Wife — Luna Kupper and Ash Richter — have released “peaches,” the final preview of their forthcoming album Come Back Down, arriving September 19, 2025 via Philadelphia tastemaker label Julia’s War Recordings. The single lands with a surreal, collage-style video that mirrors the song’s droning guitars and fluttering synths in a storm of sound.
Built from a single resampled guitar take, “peaches” was inspired by a recording session canceled when a storm knocked out power in East Nashville. “The storm provided imagery to express feeling disconnected from close friends, and frustrated with external forces getting in the way of mending the relationship.” the band explains.
A mainstay of the East Coast DIY scene for more than a decade, Total Wife has steadily shaped Nashville’s experimental underground. Come Back Down follows singles “make it last” and “second spring,” as well as last year’s 0 EP, which featured the propulsive “naoisa” and “(dead b).”
Written between late-night mixing sessions and the edge of sleep, Kupper approached the album as a “psychological mixer,” focusing on how listeners would experience the sound rather than the technical process. Richter’s lyrics — rooted in pandemic-era isolation — explore connection, disconnection, and the quiet magic of childhood solitude. Songs like “still asleep” capture post-tour euphoria tinged with paranoia, while “in my head” and “second spring” draw on nature imagery to reconnect with her “lonely inner child.”
