Night Teacher, the project of songwriter and vocalist Lilly Bechtel and producer Matt Wyatt, has announced a new album ‘Year of the Snake’ to be released October 31 on First City Artists.

Accompanying the announcement is a video for "Never Better." The track is a groovy, gritty, and good-humored ode to the pitfalls of perpetual self-improvement.

Bechtel elaborates, "In the past few years, I started noticing how often I would think or talk about myself like I was some kind of renovation project. I always had this list of things to do before I could consider myself fully improved or somehow finally ‘fixed.’ When I realized how much this wasn’t about circumstances as much as a part of my personality, it made me feel a little sad and a little free. Because it’s as serious as it is ridiculous—how much of my own life I can miss while I'm on my way to being somewhere, or someone, else."
