Today, art rock band Goon released “Emily Says,” the final single from their stunning album Hour Of Green Evening, out this Friday (July 15) – more via NYLON.
Featuring keys from Spoon’s Alex Fischel, frontman Kenny Becker wrote it about his wife Emily Elkin, a brilliant cellist who currently plays in Angel Olsen’s band and has played with Troye Sivan, Thee Oh Sees, Mikal Cronin, Cory Hanson, Olivia Rodrigo, etc. They share a cat named Cat Benatar…
“This song is about how her and I meeting each other was the most joyful thing to ever happen to both of us, but also didn’t cure either of us from our anxieties or depression. I wanted to focus on the heart-wringing conflict between those two things.”
This album follows Goon’s previous releases on Partisan Records, praised by NPR, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, BBC Radio, FADER, VICE & more. They’ve shared stages with Shame, Lucy Dacus, illuminati hotties and Grandaddy, plus Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste, Reggie Watts & beyond are big supporters.
