We’ve Got It All,  via Share It Music, marks the fourth album by Cumulus, the songwriting project of Alexandra Lockhart and William Cremin. Cumulus has evolved over the years while scooping up praise from the likes of Stereogum, Interview, Consequence, PASTE, Under The Radar, KEXP, Brooklyn Vegan, Atwood Magazine, Seattle Weekly, The Stranger, and NPR Music’s All Songs Considered. What started out as the sole endeavor of Lockhart has grown into something of a duo, with Cremin fully taking on co-writer and co-producer roles for the songs on We’ve Got It All. The lead single “Simple” is an ode to the seemingly less chaotic and fraught John Hughesian past of the 80s and early 90s. “Will it ever be that simple again?” ask Lockhart and Cremin as they harmonize together on the chorus.

Written in between long drives and voice memos, solo walks in the woods, and writing sessions in a cozy Seattle basement practice space, We’ve Got It All is a reflection on the most important things in life that carry us through the most difficult times. It is songs inspired by childhood friendships, a hello from a neighbor, bookish escapes, winding highways, family connection, and of course, always, music. In the vein of Lockhart’s biggest songwriting inspiration Jason Molina when he said “The real truth about it is no one gets it right /The real truth about it is we're all supposed to try…” the song “Boxes and Letters” holds the thesis statement and titular line of the record: “Take a deep breath of the cold air and watch the leaves fall, for a minute we’re pretending- we’ve got it all- figured out.”

The release of We’ve Got It All marks the second offering from Cumulus on Share It Music. In furtherance of the label’s mission, a donation will be made to MusiCares, a non-profit that helps artists cover the cost of medical and mental health services, as well as providing financial support to artists needing natural disaster relief.
