she’s green will release their new EP Swallowtail on July 10, 2026, via Photo Finish Records, and have shared the first single, paper thin, alongside an official video. The Minneapolis band are in the middle of a North American run that includes a Montreal stop at Theatre Fairmount on May 20.
The new track arrives a few months after mettle, which the band released in February. Both songs point to a continuation of the sound they introduced on last year’s Chrysalis, their first project in over two years. That EP built on the band’s earlier work with a more defined balance between hazy guitar textures and a tighter rhythm section, while keeping Zofia Smith’s vocals pushed forward in the mix.
Smith said paper thin centres on the confusion between lust and love at the end of a relationship, with the arrangement leaning into that instability. The track moves through layers of reverb and restrained dynamics, with tension building rather than breaking open. It keeps the band close to the shoegaze and dream pop revival they have been grouped with, while holding onto a clearer melodic structure than many of their peers.

The release comes as the band expand their touring footprint. They are supporting Chapterhouse on select dates of that band’s first North American tour in over a decade, and will also appear with Bad Suns. Festival slots at Slide Away in Brooklyn and Chicago follow in May, with further appearances at Reading and Leeds later in the summer.
The Montreal date lands in the middle of a dense stretch of shows across the northeastern United States and Canada, including stops in Cambridge and Toronto. Theatre Fairmount has hosted a steady run of shoegaze and adjacent acts over the past year, and the booking places she’s green within a circuit that has been drawing consistent local audiences.
Swallowtail will include seven tracks, including paper thin and mettle. The band recorded the material following a year of touring that included their first overseas dates and a sold-out run in China earlier this year.
