Arkansas indie-pop duo, joan, only keep dazzling us with each release, and their new video for their latest single, “want u back,” is straight out of an MTV music video block from the ’90’s!
Transforming into a self-replicating six-piece band, the video for “want u back” is chock full of retro vibes for days as visions of boybands dance in our heads. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore EP, cloudy, due out on August 6 via Photo Finish Records. Pre-order that lovely vinyl here!
About the new EP, joan share that “cloudy is an ep about seasons. created in the fall, introduced live in the winter, finished in the spring, released in the summer. we made “cloudy” to tell a story of one relationship and the fact that love can be messy but so beautiful. you know you shouldn’t be with them right now, but you have to be with them, right now. as we were finishing the record, we were forced to be in quarantine and spend more time at home. we both took to walking every evening, and would text each other pictures of the sky while doing it. it felt like the name for the ep had fallen in our laps after talking about it one day. clouds can create a beautiful or terrifying scene, they can bring refreshing rain or a destructive storm. when you see clouds, it’s probably not great at the moment, but it will get better. that’s what this ep is about – getting better, growth, loving harder, and learning from mistakes.”
