Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Emile Mosseri Announce New Album, Share New Song

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and composer Emile Mosseri—who recently helmed the score for the Lee Isaac Chung–directed film Minari—have announced a new collaborative album. I Could Be Your Dog (Prequel) is out September 15 via Ghostly. Below, check out the music video for the first single, “Log in Your Fire.”

Smith and Mossieri met shortly before the pandemic. They later worked on music remotely, trading songs back and forth over email to create I Could Be Your Dog. A second cycle of the project, called I Could Be Your Moon (Sequel), is planned to come out next year.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s most recent album under her own name is last year’s The Mosaic of Transformation. Read the interview “Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s Existential Synthesizer Music.”
