In 2019, during a hectic tour schedule, the songs of Still Life were written, and the following year McHone teamed up with Canadian musician and producer, Daniel Romano, to record the album while sequestered at a home studio in the fall of 2020. Still Life was released on MERGE RECORDS/LOOSE MUSIC in February 2022 with McHone touring the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK in support of the album, as well as joining, and performing with, Daniel Romano’s Outfit.
In September 2022 McHone released Camera Varda Variations (MERGE RECORDS/LOOSE MUSIC), a digital EP featuring two songs from Still Life re-recorded at the Outfit’s new studio, Camera Varda, with the group as her band, akin to the collaboration/live show of the two acts on tour. McHone has recorded and toured three albums as a member of Daniel Romano’s Outfit: Cobra Poems (2022), La Luna (2023), and Too Hot To Sleep (2024), all released on YOU’VE CHANGED RECORDS. McHone’s 2024 EP, ODES, is a collection of carefully curated covers recorded at Camera Varda with her bandmates from the Outfit, released July 19th via MERGE RECORDS. McHone’s next full length record has a tentative release for fall 2025.
