‘loner’ discusses the poignant experience of feeling like you don’t fit in, and the isolation and sadness that can result. The emotional yet upbeat track also highlights how important it is to find your tribe and those feelings of acceptance and joy that result when you are comfortable in yourself and around others.

joan share, “We talk all the time with each other about how we never really fit in with any crowd in high  school, and we’re lucky to have found people that match with us and make us feel comfortable in our own skin. It’s a hard few years though, not having that  connection with anyone specific that *really* gets you. This song was brought out  from that emotion and experience.

 

With fervent pop rock soundscapes under cathartic and infectious melodies, ‘loner’ is a captivating anthem dedicated to every misfit. The band further share, "You know when you go to a party or really anything with  crowds, and you have that sort of pit in your stomach because you don’t feel like  you belong and you really just don't want to be there? That’s what loner is about — being in those situations and knowing you’re better off just sticking to your own  corner and keeping to yourself. But, it’s also about someone walking into that  party that sees you and gets you and feels the same way you do and you’re  thinking, “i’d rather be alone, you’d rather be alone, should we alone together?”  and all the sudden the thought of being with someone doesn’t seem so bad.”

 

The single is the latest from their 12 track full length which is over three years in the making, following their beloved EPs portra, cloudy, hi  and bye. Entitled superglue, the album is an existential journey influenced by the duo’s recent transition into fatherhood. The duo will embark on a 20 date nationwide U.S. headlining tour beginning May 13th, to support their album, see below for full list of dates.
