Jonah Yano x Snowpath (feat. Clairo)
Montreal’s Jonah Yano recruits frequent collaborator Clairo for the final offering ahead of his forthcoming album out this Friday, with new single “Snowpath.” Having toured together and collaborated several times over the past few years, Jonah and Clairo embody the nature of their collaborative relationship on the song. The song details the warmth of time spent with friends, bringing listeners into the setting in which it was recorded - a snowed-in studio in rural Ontario with two sets of fresh footprints in the snow.
Jonah’s new album, Jonah Yano & The Heavy Loop, came together with intimate collaboration in mind, as a departure from his previous two albums - both of which were intimate portraits of his personal and family life. His third album, out on October 4, 2024, is one open to improvisation and melding the collective visions of each member of his band, which has been years in the making: Christopher Edmonson, Benjamin Maclean, Leighton Harrell, Felix Fox-Pappas and Raiden Louis. Jonah remains at the helm as the record’s conductor and central figure, but draws on the strengths and inspirations of each member of the band to craft an album that still dives into personal experience through its tender lyrics, but evolves musically as the band feeds off of one another in the fruitful exchange of ideas in the studio and lively bouts of improvisation.
