Acclaimed singer-songwriter and producer Lawrence Rothman today unveils a new song, “Stable” via KRO Records – listen/share HERE and watch the visualiser HERE. The track is the latest release from Rothman’s upcoming album, Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust, out September 25th – presave/preorder HERE.
“Stable” explores Rothman’s recent path to sobriety, framing recovery as a middle ground between collapse and healing—a never-ending process of daily, ritualistic survival. Rothman shares: “‘Stable’ is about what happens after survival…when your personal chaos finally goes quiet, and you’re left learning how to live without it. I spent so much of my life mistaking instability for movement, and intensity for being alive. This song is about realizing that peace can feel terrifying when you’ve never really known it and slowly learning to trust the ground beneath you.”
The new track follows previously shared singles, “Karmakaze”, “A Word’s A Weapon” and “The Meaning”, the first three releases off Rothman’s forthcoming album, Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust.
Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust is Rothman’s fifth studio album and their most revealing work to date. Marking a full embrace of the Americana tradition, the album was written and recorded in Biarritz, France, and Nashville, Tennessee. Produced and mixed entirely by Rothman, the album features contributions from Katie Pruitt, Amanda Shires, Jillian Jacqueline and others. explores addiction, recovery, grief, identity, anxiety, lost love and the relentless act of surviving long enough to reinvent yourself. Grounded in the enduring tradition of Americana, it refuses to be confined to a single genre. Looking forward rather than backward, it pushes the form ahead through uncompromising songwriting, lyrical honesty, raw production and lived experience.
The new LP completes a trilogy that began with Good Morning, America (2021) and continued with The Plow That Broke the Plains (2024), three albums conceived as a single, continuous body of work. The series was born out of the pandemic period, when a collaboration with Lucinda Williams pulled Rothman back to their roots in Nashville. The project represents Rothman’s most cohesive creative statement to date.
