wishbone, the album. august 15th. “this song” out in a week.

over the past two years, i’ve been secretly writing songs. after shows in the basements of the venues, in the sheets of my hotel beds, in narrow gaps between tours— i’d come back home and write all the things i felt nobody wanted to hear. maybe even the things i didn’t want people to hear.

i didn’t tell my friends. i didn’t tell my label. after all, i didn’t know i was making anything, and i had no plan to release any of it. but over time, i began to feel something i’d never felt before. i started to need the music. i listened in airports, in long cab trips, blaring in the shower. in heartbreak, then in joy. i started to play it for my friends, and they started to need it too. in car ride requests with the windows down, in a split pair of wired headphones on the subway home. it became an egregiously niche soundtrack to our own lives in real time, singing just for us.

it felt like the music was reminding me who i am, at an experimental time in my twenties where “who i am” had no definition at all. my driftwood childhood in texas. my lucid summers in london. my blue striped bed sheets in my college apartment. i played the songs to the very first person i’d ever made music with, @thedanielnigro, and i began to record. i didn’t know why i was recording, i just was. i didn’t know what story i was telling, i was just living in it. slowly i started to see myself in full picture. the slivers of myself i’d always been, but never faced. the songs i’d always been writing, but never singing.

before i knew it i was surrounded by an album.

that album is wishbone.

you can preorder the album now. music produced by the people who make my favorite music: @thedanielnigro , @ethangruska , noah conrad, elvira anderfjärd and @lukakloser . album cover shot by the great @dillonmatthewc who shot my first album. embroidery by my best friend ashley. every song written by me in my bed in my pajamas. there’s so much left to say, but i’ll say it in the music.

p.s. a wishbone never breaks even.

NEW CONAN GRAY SONG

I KNOW IT'S SO SAD WHO LET HIM SAY "the years have passed but you laugh exactly the same." I saw the album cover and no lie thought "this is gonna be sad as hell" and I was RIGHT. Alley Rose remains the superior sad song though (I don't care what he says, it is NOT a love song)

[conangrayofficial]

I need alley rose to be injected into my veins
