Carissa’s Wierd has released “I Don’t Feel Like I Feel Right,” its second single from the forthcoming album Somewhere Further Than Far Away.

Carissa’s Wierd has released “I Don’t Feel Like I Feel Right,” the second single from Somewhere Further Than Far Away, its first album in 25 years. The Seattle duo of Jenn Champion and Mat Brooke is set to release the album on Jan. 8 through Nettwerk, according to the announcement covered by Stereogum.
The new song follows “No One Lives Here Anymore,” which Stereogum identified as the album’s lead single. The report describes the new track as built around Champion’s conversational vocals and twinkling guitars, drawing a connection to the group’s earlier DIY indie recordings. A video for the song was also made available with the release.
Champion framed the album as reflecting on the duo’s shared history and current relationship. “Mat and I have lived a lot of lives together,” she said. “This is kind of a reckoning with our past and present, and how a relationship can feel fated to be no matter what happens along the way.” That is Champion’s description of the project; the report does not provide further details about the album’s songs or recording process.
Somewhere Further Than Far Away is scheduled for Jan. 8 on Nettwerk. The source describes it as Carissa’s Wierd’s first album in 25 years. It does not specify the year of that release date, so the schedule is reported here as given rather than tied to a particular calendar year.
A Long Gap Before the New Album
The single introduces a rare full-length return from a group whose original run ended in 2003. For listeners who know Carissa’s Wierd through its early-2000s recordings, the release offers a direct indication of the sound and emotional perspective the duo is bringing to its next album, rather than just news of a reunion.
The return also reconnects Champion and Brooke’s work as a duo with a wider musical history. Brooke was an original member of Band of Horses, while former Carissa’s Wierd leader Ben Bridwell continues to lead that band, according to Stereogum. The current announcement concerns Champion and Brooke’s new Carissa’s Wierd material; it does not say that Bridwell is involved in the album.

From the 2003 Breakup to Reunion
Carissa’s Wierd broke up in 2003, after releasing DIY indie records in the early part of that decade. Its members went on to other projects. The group later released a one-off reunion single in 2011, but the source distinguishes that release from the album now being prepared: Somewhere Further Than Far Away is described as the duo’s first album in 25 years.
The album campaign has so far included two songs: lead single “No One Lives Here Anymore” and the newly released “I Don’t Feel Like I Feel Right.” The supplied report does not list a complete tracklist, other collaborators, or additional tour plans.
““Mat and I have lived a lot of lives together.””
