Liz Phair Sharing Two Previously Unreleased Songs, Including Theme To Lena Dunham’s Podcast

2:10 PM EDT on August 27, 2026

Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney's the Flannel And The Fury tour is just around the corner. As if that's not exciting enough, Phair will be selling a limited edition 7" vinyl with two previously unreleased songs, including the theme to Lena Dunham's podcast.

"Only Love," on Side A, has been the theme for The C-Word since its inception in 2019. Dunham cohosts the podcast with Alissa Bennett, and it began re-releasing without a paywall under an Audacy distribution deal last year. Dunham is (predictably) a known Phair fan: "I'm proud to say, I (purposely) had sex once in the house she had lived in," she told Vogue in 2018. Side B has a track called "Crystal Ball." You can hear snippets of both tunes below.
