$14 Adv + Fees | 21+ When Dallas songwriter Alex Montenegro began writing songs, she stuck to her usual tools, an out of tune guitar, a loop pedal, a Tascam tape machine. After self-recording the entirety of her early DIY bandcamp releases, 2021’s sprawling debut Great Big Wild Oak saw Montenegro  incorporate other musicians and recording methods alongside her established style. Great Big Wild Oak displayed Skirts at their most polished, weaving warm, traditional Americana textures with Montenegro’s lo-fi piano and intimate vocals. The album earned her the title of “Band to Watch” by Stereogum and a home on indie label Double Double Whammy. On new single “Run” — the band’s first release since 2021, Montenegro continues to synthesize the DIY and high-fidelity approach to writing music. Though the song’s immediate guitar squeal is a far cry from her early soft-spoken bedroom pop, Montenegro’s twangy grooves and hushed vocals intermingle with the new, bombastic sounds.
