Little Rock Alt-Pop Duo joan Share New Single “Nervous” From Upcoming Debut LP ‘superglue’; Announce Extensive Tour Dates
Little Rock-based alt-pop duo joan, comprised of long-time friends Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, are set to release their highly anticipated debut album superglue on April 19th. With a handful of singles and EPs under their belt, including their previous single “flowers”, the pair have shared their latest release “Nervous”, alongside its colourful music video.
“Nervous” was inspired by the nostalgic feelings of a school yard crush, and aimed to bring back the rush of emotions and intoxicating excitement. Colourful harmonies, glistening guitar riffs, and a punchy, feel-good chorus give “Nervous” a radiant glow.
The band share, “we wrote this song with the lovely Emily Falvey of Nashville and Jonathan Capeci from Nightly, and the second we all walked into the room together there was immediate chemistry between us. We wanted to get as close to the emotion of a sort of school like love story, where you constantly want to be around them but you also literally feel like you’re going to throw up because you’re so… nervous (wink), and you don’t want to say the wrong thing around them. it’s such a cool and distinct feeling, we hope this song takes you back to that place.”
