Wheel is the third album by American singer-songwriter Laura Stevenson, and the first to be credited solely to her. The album was released through Don Giovanni Records on April 23, 2013.

Background

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."
