Jonah Yano is back with a new record. The Toronto songwriter just announced Spin, his next full-length, and dropped two tracks to set the table. It's a big moment for an artist who's been building something special since 2020's Souvenir, that gorgeous debut that paired jazz-leaning arrangements with aching, diaristic lyrics.
Yano has always been a restless craftsman. From the warm collaborations with BADBADNOTGOOD to the textured sprawl of 2023's Portrait of a Dog, he keeps stretching his sound into new shapes. These two new cuts feel like another step forward: intimate, detailed, alive with that signature closeness.
Spin arrives as Yano's profile keeps climbing, and the timing feels right. He's one of those artists who treats every track like a small world worth getting lost in. The arrangements breathe. The writing cuts deep.
If these two are any indication, Spin could be a stunner. Mark your calendar and get familiar. This one's shaping up to matter.
