Katie Thiroux Releases Powerful New Solo Album Always but never Alone

Los Angeles, CA — Acclaimed bassist and vocalist Katie Thiroux has released her deeply personal new solo album, Always but never Alone, now streaming on all major platforms. The project is a raw and intimate exploration of identity and resilience — featuring only live bass and voice, captured in a single 3-hour session at Tritone Studios in Los Angeles.

“This record is for anyone who has ever been through an uncertain time and had to learn to be comfortable with it,” says Thiroux. “For me, that journey began — and continues — with parenting my daughter, who is autistic, nonverbal, developmentally delayed, and has apraxia of speech. From the moment I was pregnant, I knew I’d never be alone again.”

The album is a continuous, gapless work meant to be heard in one sitting. Every three tracks are punctuated by a meditative verse from John Lennon’s “Look at Me”, offering moments of reflection that echo the album’s emotional arc.

The repertoire spans a wide emotional and stylistic range — from Gershwin and Tadd Dameron to Paul McCartney and Harry Nilsson — interpreted with clarity and deep connection. Each track reveals a layer of Thiroux’s identity: mother, wife, performer, and human

— with themes that are sometimes heavy, often luminous, and always honest. “It’s not all dark,” she adds. “I find light in the dark. That’s what I do.”

With each note and phrase, Always but never Alone is also a bold artistic statement:

This is how a bassist should accompany a vocalist — with empathy, presence, and total commitment.

The album was engineered by Talley Sherwood, mixed by Scott Sheppard and David Schwartz, and mastered by Jett Galindo. The striking cover artwork — a vivid reflection of the layered, unpredictable beauty of her daughter’s world — was created by Cécile Michaelis.
