Philadelphia-based indie rock quartet Mo Lowda & the Humble have aired their new single “Canary” –a melodic, atmospheric tune that sinks into the nerves of a promising new love, alongside its matching vibrant animated music video.
The track is the first single from their upcoming fifth album ‘Tailing the Ghost‘ due to be released on June 20. Pre-order it here.
The group have also announced a lengthy North American tour this summer and fall, with support from French Cassettes and Illiterate Light and a slew of festival appearances at Boston Calling, Green River and more. See a full list of dates below.
Written on a fan-gifted Canary Yellow custom Fender Telecaster and recorded while looking out at the vast Joshua Tree desert, “Canary” delves into the uncertainty of a potential new relationship. Propelled by an irresistible guitar riff and repetitive groove, Jordan Caiola (lead vocals, guitar, bass) says: “It focuses on the struggle of allowing oneself to fully open up, let it naturally unfold & trust the trajectory–something the narrator has previously (unsuccessfully) grappled with.”
On its special instrumentation and sound, Lucci adds, “I used a baritone to play fingerstyle parts that cover the low end pretty nicely, and the bridge has a kind of electronic feel by using some guitar pedal trickery.”
The eye-catching animated video by Taras Merenkov captures the hypnotic nature of both the track and blend of nervousness and excitement of something new.
