2025 studio album by Claire Rousay

A Little Death is a studio album by Canadian-American musician and composer Claire Rousay. It was released on October 31, 2025, via Thrill Jockey.[4][5][6]

On August 19, 2025, Rousay announced A Little Death and released the lead single from the album, “Just”, featuring ambient musician M. Sage.[7] She released the second single from the album, “Somewhat Burdensome”, on September 16, 2025.[8] A Little Death is the third of a trilogy of albums by Rousay, the first two being A Heavenly Touch in 2020 and A Softer Focus in 2021.[7] The album is named for a wine bar in San Antonio called Little Death, where Rousay made the first recordings for the album in 2021.[9]

A Little Death is a departure from her 2024 album Sentiment, which was more pop-oriented.[9] The album is based on field recordings that Claire Rousay took at night.[4] Rousay called the album “a return to what I see as my core solo practice” and “a re-dedication to those methods of working which I’ve found most align with what I envision my music or sound to be.”[10] Sharon O’Connell of Uncut described A Little Death as “a combination of field recordings, musique concrète, minimalism and experi-tronics.”[3]
