Something About Knowing is the fifth album by Maria Taylor, released on October 29, 2013[1] on Saddle Creek Records. The album finds Taylor returning to working with producer Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes,[2][3] recording a majority of the record in Omaha and three songs in her hometown of Birmingham.[4] Other collaborations on this record include her brother, multi-instrumentalist Macey Taylor of Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band and Jenny Lewis,[5] mixing by Andy Lemaster,[6] and co-writing and recording two songs with Brad Armstrong of 13 Ghosts.[7][8]

Paste was the first to premiere a track from the album on September 24, 2013, with a stream of "Up All Night".[9] On October 24, 2013, the album's title track began receiving radio airplay on KCRW and was featured on their website as "Today's Top Tune".[10] "Tunnel Vision" premiered on The Wall Street Journal on October 29, 2013 calling it "an atmospheric song with a rock-solid beat anchoring the gauzy synthesizers that drift past her soft, alluring vocals."[11] "This Is It" premiered on Rolling Stone's website on November 6, 2013.[12]

Alan Tanner directed the video for the album's first single, "Up All Night",[13][14] which premiered on Under the Radar and features her brother Macey Taylor and Taylor Hollingsworth of Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band.[15] The album's cover art is a photograph taken by her husband.[16]
