NEW MUSIC: JOAN | SOMETHING SPECIAL

Previewing their forthcoming new EP ‘hi’ (which will be joined by a partner EP ‘bye’ later this year), the duo joan has shared a new track entitled, "Something Special." “This song started as a Doobie Brothers tribute song, just having some fun one day. We were just messing around with keyboard sounds and came across the chords to what are now the chorus chords. We looked at each other and said, “wow this feels special, ohhh special. let’s write around that word.” And then all of a sudden the lyrics to the chorus fell into place and we just got more and more excited with each minute that passed. The rest of the song just kind of worked itself out.” The guys spent much of 2019 on the road with the major US and international tours supporting the likes of The Aces, COIN, Bloc Party and Jeremy Zucker, as well as playing to fans across Asia with headline shows and festivals in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Early 2020 saw them playing to sold-out crowds across the US on their first headline tour, including having to add additional shows in LA to accommodate ticket demand. Their virtual cloudy release show in August 2020 boasted thousands of ticket sales from fans who tuned into their live stream. 2021 is going to be an incredibly exciting year for joan.
