OLS presents Katie Pruitt with special guest Jess Nolan
Katie Pruitt’s Mantras is a bold and introspective follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut Expectations, diving even deeper into themes of identity, healing, and inner transformation. Where Expectations chronicled her experience growing up queer in the Christian South, Mantras finds Pruitt exploring her own internal landscape—confronting self-doubt, rewriting old narratives, and learning to speak to herself with compassion.
The Nashville-based singer/songwriter shapes these stories with emotional clarity and sonic range, drawing on folk, indie rock, and lush pop elements. Produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (boygenius, Lucy Dacus), the album trades a traditional Americana palette for a more expansive sound, with overdriven guitars, dreamy textures, and unexpected details—like AM radio static and xylophone—that heighten the emotional impact of each track.
Songs like “All My Friends (Are Finding New Beliefs)” and “White Lies, White Jesus and You” grapple with spiritual disillusionment and shifting worldviews, while “Blood Related” reflects on family division and the slow work of reconciliation. Elsewhere, “Self Sabotage” captures the weight of negative thought loops, and “Naive Again” aches with the bittersweet wish to unsee adulthood’s harder truths.
Throughout Mantras, Pruitt’s voice remains the anchor—clear, expressive, and unwaveringly honest. The record charts a journey from internal chaos to clarity, from seeking validation externally to building a home within. By the final track, “Standstill,” she arrives at a quiet peace, offering listeners not just catharsis, but a path toward self-love and trust.
Ultimately, Mantras is both a personal reckoning and a universal offering—an invitation to sit with discomfort, unlearn the things that hurt us, and return to ourselves with more patience, more love, and more light.

Jess Nolan:
When Jess Nolan began writing her third album at home in Nashville, she’d been on the move for years, balancing an acclaimed solo career with her work as a harmony-singing keyboardist for Jenny Lewis, Katie Pruitt, and Joy Oladokun. Living alone for the first time ever and looking to prioritize her downtime, she began writing new songs that bridged the gap between intimacy and expansiveness. She’d already explored the softer, meditative side of her music with her previous record, ’93. This new material was something different: darker, autumnal, nocturnal, and playful. It felt right to record the songs in the same place she’d written them, so Nolan turned her house into a makeshift studio and got to work. Joined by co-producer Megan McCormick and a small cast of bandmates and friends — nearly all of them female — she tracked the album in a matter of days, avoiding overdubs altogether and letting childlike curiosity lead the way. The result is an unfiltered view into Nolan’s past and present, with songs that turn personal details into something communal and cathartic.
