True Mountain Laurel, the new project from Haley Blais and Sam Lynch, has officially arrived with their debut single “Angel So Bad,” the first taste of their upcoming album of the same name due out August 28, 2026 via Birthday Cake Records.
“Angel So Bad” is a beautiful dreamy acoustic folk-pop tune that feels both intimate and weightless.
The song gently drifts along with warm harmonies, delicate instrumentation, and a soft nostalgic glow that makes it instantly comforting.
Haley Blais and Sam Lynch complement each other effortlessly, creating a sound that feels natural and deeply heartfelt.
It’s the kind of track that quietly pulls you in and lingers long after it ends, setting an exciting tone for the upcoming album.
About the track by True Mountain Laurel:
The album’s title track, “Angel So Bad”, is an ode to the moral trials associated with that oldest of human hobbies: gossiping.
Often put down as at best idle talk and at worst a social danger, “Angel So Bad” asks us to consider its magical properties, its role in community building, its function as a catalyst for human connection.
“When we finished writing ‘Angel So Bad’, I could tell it was going to be the inspiration for the world of the project and the rest of the songwriting process,” says Blais. “It’s tongue in cheek but earnest; it crosses its fingers while it tells the truth.”
“Although it wasn’t the first song we wrote together, ‘Angel So Bad’ felt like the true starting point of whatever this project was meant to be,” explains Lynch. “The song started as a conversation about gossip, and slowly turned into a cheeky exploration about how exhausting it can feel to constantly try to be a perfectly good person all the time.”
