Mary Timony- The Guest
This song is from Mary Timony’s 2024 solo album, Untame the Tiger. Timony, (who was also part of ’90s band Helium, and currently Ex Hex) wrote the album during a time which saw the end of her long term relationship and the death of her parents. She talks about the experience here.
