Evening Hymns unveils fresh cut "Pyrenees"
Jonas Bonnetta is back with "Pyrenees", a third taster of his forthcoming Evening Hymns album Heavy Nights.
"Pyrenees" follows on from previous offerings "My Drugs, My Dreams" and "I Can Only Be Good", and lands with another visual directed by Monika Kraska.
Bonnetta says of his new single, "I woke up before the band on the last date of tour in one of my favourite places in the world. Sitting way up in a mountain villa on the border of France and Spain above the village of Sare. I played guitar to a beat I had programmed on my phone. Played it for the band over coffee and we made a demo later that night."
He adds, "I remember finishing the tour in the south of France and making the drive back north to fly home and I texted the demo to my friend Josh who was touring in another van somewhere in Europe. I was feeling new life. Falling in love while on the road and thinking about all the what-ifs. It [the track] wasn’t something that I could take to anyone to help process, so it just lived inside my head for that tour. Maybe it’s as close as I’ll ever get to having something danceable. It felt like catharsis to have an outlet for this pent-up energy. All of the conflict just being obliterated by this new excitement for a big change."
Heavy Nights will be his first Evening Hymns album since 2015's Quiet Energies, and features guest collaborators including Destroyer's Joseph Shabason, By Divine Right's José Contreras, and Bonnetta’s partner, Caylie Runciman, aka Boyhood.
