Wheel is the third album by American singer-songwriter Laura Stevenson, and the first to be credited solely to her.[1] The album was released through Don Giovanni Records on April 23, 2013.
Stevenson stated that the album's tracks were written in "various states of depression" and that she had a "tormented" time recording the album. She said, "the recording process, I really struggled with it, so I put it away. And then, everybody was like, “Oh, you’re gonna get a Pitchfork review and this is gonna be so cool.” So I was like, “Oh, okay.” Then my hopes got really high that things were going to get easier for me, like I was gonna get a little bump and that was going to be helpful. Then that didn’t happen and it was the same slog, which is fine now, in retrospect. But when it came out, I got super disappointed afterwards and then I just tucked that record away. I mean, I still played the songs, but I never really listened to it."[2]
