Reba Meyers Embraces Solo Career with Debut Album and Tour
Code Orange on Hiatus
As the influential band Code Orange takes a hiatus, guitarist Reba Meyers seizes the opportunity to focus on her burgeoning solo career. Meyers has announced her debut solo album, titled Clouded World, set to release in early 2026. The excitement surrounding her solo venture is amplified with the release of the album’s third single, which shares the same name as the title track.
The Legacy of Steve Albini
Tragically, the single was recorded by the esteemed producer Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, just six months before his untimely passing. Meyers expressed her gratitude for Albini’s unique approach to music, stating, “Steve championed the medium of physical recordings, and that process inherently encourages the commitment to imperfection.” She aims to reflect this philosophy in her music, embracing the raw and unpredictable nature of life.
Embracing Imperfection
Meyers elaborated on the meaning behind “Clouded World,” highlighting a disconnect in modern life: “Too many aspects of the modern human condition feel entirely over-labored and orchestrated. We have drifted far from our primal instincts and have gotten so distracted by the myriad tools at our fingertips that we forget that our human imperfections are the one thing that makes us special and unpredictable.”
Debut Solo Tour Announcement
In conjunction with her new single, Meyers has announced her debut solo tour, set to kick off on August 12. The tour will feature Ninth Cage (which includes members of Year of the Knife) and artist and writer Kimi Malka Hanauer as supporting acts on select dates.
