Jonah Yano is among April's Best New Artis round-up at Pigeons & Planes.  Yano explains the inspiration for his new song "shoes" and discusses his upcoming record, souvenir.

As Hypebeast reports "with a well-orchestrated mixtape already under his belt, Yano’s sound has been shaped by soulful vocal deliveries with a distinctive wistfulness that reflects his modern indie milieu — the artist has shown a natural affinity for producing a dynamic range of sounds like slow-burning ballads, jazzy electronic tunes and quaint lo-fi performances.  Rolling off as the last track on souvenir, “Shoes” reflects an emotional reunion with Yano’s father, Tatsuya Muraoka."  And as Cool Hunting reports "the intensely personal single will appear on Yano’s forthcoming debut album, souvenir, out 19 June."
