Ingrid Avison

What happens when a peri-menopausal grief therapist writes a synth pop song late one night on the floor of her cabin while contemplating desire, reproductive rights, and dating in her thirties?

‘The IUD Song’ is born - OUT May 22.

Boulder, Colorado-based musician Ingrid Avison has been quietly building one of the Front Range's most distinct and unpredictable catalogs — spanning Americana, soul-pop, and now synth pop — and the buzz around her is growing. A four-time Planet Bluegrass Songwriter Showcase honoree and 2025 Telluride Troubadour Finalist, Avison has earned a reputation for music that refuses to be contained: by genre, by expectation, or by what women are supposed to say out loud. Her earlier work drew comparisons to Jewel and Florence Welch and now her newest release belongs on a playlist with Chappell Roan.

‘The IUD Song’ is her most fearless move yet. Written at 2am as a joke to herself, she never planned to share it with anyone. It quickly became her most-requested track at live shows. Its hook arrived fully formed and made her laugh out loud: "I don't know if I want kids, but right now I want you to get me pregnant." What started as a throwaway became something sharper — a cheeky, euphoric synth pop anthem that refuses to flatten desire, womanhood, or reproductive choice into anything neat or palatable.

Ingrid never expected her life to take a turn toward songwriting. A self-proclaimed late-bloomer, Ingrid spent most of her life believing that songwriting and performing was for other people. Turns out all she needed was a global pandemic, a devastating break-up, an abdominal surgery and a psychedelic desert experience to write her debut song, "Time Traveling Cowboy" at the age of 34. Ingrid's creative floodgates have been open ever since.

In a recent interview Ingrid described “I’m at this point in my life where I want to explore all sides of myself and make the art that I want to make. This time it’s a horny, subversive synth pop song about how much I love my IUD. We’ll see what’s next.”

‘The IUD Song’ is available everywhere you stream music. 

Ingrid will be celebrating the May 22 birth of “The IUD Song”at her release show on May 24 at Oskar Blues in Lyons, CO. This show is her feature performance in the Sunday Serenade, a curated listening room series showcasing local talent. Ingrid will be joined by her bandmate, co-producer and confidante, Jeff Dean.
