Plains (the duo of Jess Williamson and Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield) have shared a video for their new song “Abilene,” featuring Adriene Mishler of Yoga With Adriene fame. It’s the second single from Plains’ debut LP I Walked With You a Ways. Check out the video below.

Of the new song, Crutchfield said in a statement: 

The song “Abilene” really solidified the vision of the album for me. I’ll never forget how giddy I felt when Jess sent me the original demo. In a very stereotypical-of-a-songwriter way, Jess felt unsure if it fit or made sense and I reassured her immediately that this was probably my favorite song of the bunch. She achieved something really special in my view, which is writing a classic country waltz that feels extremely modern.

Williamson added: 

In the video for “Abilene,” my dear friend Adriene Mishler plays the narrator of the song. We see her struggle in the final stages of a romantic relationship and then make the hard decision to choose herself and leave. I think we all have our own personal “Abilene.” Maybe it’s a place where you used to live and things didn’t turn out as planned, like in the song. It could also be a relationship that ended in disappointment, or a dream that turned into a hard reality, or even an old version of yourself that’s better left in the past. “Abilene” is a song about knowing your worth, having courage in the face of an uncertain future, and trusting your gut.

Plains shared the single “Problem With It” earlier this summer. Waxahatchee released their last LP, Saint Cloud, in 2020; Jess Willamson’s Sorceress dropped that same year.
